It was interesting that while we were having this Lucky discussion our local TV station was featuring a story about an area public library with a kind of opposite problem. I'll try and type this so it will get past filters. Seem a 14 yr had gone to the library and brought home a movie that was rated on the box not for under 18 and a book call "The Big Book of P##n"( title might be a little different as my memory is gettin older but the biggest word on the title was the last and the book was thick) The parent was highly upset a. that his 14 yr old could check this out and b. that in the case of the book his tax money was being spent on this. The station dealt mostly with the first issue and reported that the libraries in the are have no restrictions on who can check out what regardless of age. They recommended that parent accompany their kids to the library if they wanted to regulate their checkouts. ( like that's going to happen with a teenager!) I don't want to start another big thread about this but I thought it was interesting to see another side of this issue. Darlene PS MY email is set to respond to sender only.
