Of Bookish Things#Libraries are being accused of offering child porn. #Librarians explain why that's not true.
Stroll through the stacks of any #library, and you're bound to find something you don't agree with. But in parts of #Canada, people are campaigning to make public, and #SchoolLibraries remove books they claim make sexually explicit material available to minors, or even contain child pornography.
The books in question are often ones aimed at children and teens and that have content related to #SexEducation and/or #GBTQ and #GenderIdentity issues.
The librarians who have been tasked with selecting books and maintaining robust collections say the claim they would stock child pornography on their shelves is not true, and that these efforts seem motivated by personal beliefs.
