Meh. Most of a library's collection complaints comes from the public, not the staff. My CollDev professor said that there used to be a dedicated group at the local library who would check out books and mark through or rip out anything they considered indecent. They cut a swath through the paperbacks before they were found and banned. (But why start with the paperbacks if you're looking for potentially offensive material? Most folks march over to the mid 500s, the late 200s, and the early 600s to start rippin.)

Because sex is dirty and shameful. Violence, however, is entertainment.
