Nampa librarians want sex books on the shelves

Posted on 15 April 2008 by Nathaniel Hoffman

Nampa library workers ask the board to restore sex books to shelves. Librarian: “By placing the books in the director’s office, the board has gone against the mission, vision and values of the library.” Boise Public Library orders Joy of Gay Sex as part of normal acquisition plan. Rodine in the Statesman. And: “Forcing library customers to ask a staff member for access to these books from a locked office violates their right to privacy and confidentiality.” Butts in the Press Tribune.

    I agree. Why do you have to ask for that specific book? It’s like having a bunch of Bibles on the shelves, but requiring people to ask for a Koran (veiling it as a “national security” interest, rather than a “this is the bad kind of sex” interest).
