Librarians are some of the biggest pro-censorship freaks in the country. They pretend to be anti-censorship... while claiming they have the sole power to censor what goes in libraries, not the people who pay for the books.
There's some truth in that. Growing up in Chicago, I learned which librarians at the local Chicago Public Library branch were OK, and which ones weren't. By the time I was halfway through grade school I had been routinely choosing and checking out books from the regular (i.e., adult) section of the library but there was ONE librarian who thought I should only be able to get books from the kid's section. (This was back in the 60s, so the libraries didn't have a porn section.)
I was
well past Dr. Seuss by that time, but the bitch didn't think I should be allowed to read C.S.Forester, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, or even Teddy Roosevelt.
So I had to wait until that nasty old harridan stepped away from the scanner to get my books. Ironically, my gut tells me that if she were still alive and working today, she'd probably be glad to let kids check out all the books encouraging deviant behavior the groomers are pushing.
