The issue with letting the community have a free for all to come decide what a 13 year old should be reading is that these are the people who show up to such meetings of the mind. Pic from the article, which some of you haven't read. I don't think busybody boomers on a (usually faith based) moral purity mission should be the ones curating the selection in a public library, period.
