I love this quote, “This library has something offensive to everyone. If you are not offended by something we have, please complain.” — Dorothy Broderick, Contemporary American Writer.
So the other day I was at the public library looking at books on vegetarianism in the 613 call number area. As I browse the shelves I see books on vegetarianism…women’s health… drugs…sexy toys! The library bought The adventurous couple’s guide to sex toys. I think that is very bold of the library. Not only because it is a risky topic but because that is the type of book that mysteriously disappears (angry patrons or curious kids-your guess).
You go public library!
