It's just part of being a librarian defending material when people are slapping it on the desk in front of you demanding you array your professional credentials. Just this week I had a grad student waving comics in front of me that a tween she was tutoring "found" in the library. Now we are open from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. That particular day because of Science Expo, I was there from 8:00 am and it was now 6:30 no breaks- sigh. Did you know you had these in the library?!!! Yes. What are you going to do about it?!! I am sorry you are not fond of super hero comics. Yes they can be violent. These are donated to our library by parents in our school. We leave them out for free reading time and afterschool clubs. They usually reside over here. We believe that high interest reading material while not everyones taste is important to have available. (I did think it was time to go home.) Deep breaths.
