The policy will control what books are available to children at the public library, with city leaders promising nothing will be taken off the shelves for adults.
> “S.E.X.: The All You Need to Know Progressive Sexuality Guide to Get You Through High School and College,” was one of the books quoted by Van Der Mark, which is not part of the young adult section of the library according to the city’s catalog.
Pulling adult books to prove a point about allegedly inappropriate material in the children's section is one way to do it, I guess.
Damn, I feel real bad for library staff and the mountain of nonsense that they're dealing with.

>"Van Der Mark said she will present several examples of books found at city libraries that she says are too sexually explicit for children, including a collection of essays by women about losing their virginity in their teens that she said she found in the teen section at the Huntington Beach Central Library."
Absolutely wild that a book about the teen experience was in the teen section.
