Honest Question

[Doc]

I also find it hard to believe that for a system that has Playboy on Microfilm would spend money doing such a thing to National Geographic. My question to you is why spend time doing such a thing when its cheaper and easier to not carry the periodical in the first place? If someone was going to complain about National Geographic's nudity then why carry Playboy on Microfilm at all?

Adults see the porno. Children do not. Like I said, you can check out Playboy and other pornographic content by asking some old lady behind a desk for it. With any luck, you might get one of the really old ladies who will go about muttering "Oh dearie me" Having to ask said old lady is enough of a deterent to keep most people away, unless of course there are perverts with a particular fetish about asking little old ladies for porno. Which, there probably are and just thinking about that is making the coffee in my stomach curdle a bit.

Children do however, have access to NatGeo. (For now)

I really don't know the full numbers, so don't nail me to the wall for any misquotes, but probably over half of our library force is little old ladies auxilary groups and various volunteer groups. Friends of the Library, etc etc etc. These are the people that do most of the work. They putter around sorting books, returning them to the shelves, taping the tattered paperbacks... Hey, speaking of porno, when is somebody going to do something about the hardcore porn in the romance novel sections? Those damnable bodice ripper books talking about throbbing manhoods and so on? Nobody is doing a damn thing about those. Er, eh, sorry.

These folk do not get paid. They do however, get a lot of attention, being "professional" experts that work at the library, and when they start shouting "Wont somebody think of the children!" Everybody drops what they are doing and comes running to pay attention.
