Subject: Wholesome censorship IS childhood trauma
In a recent PUBYAC post, Bonita Kate quoted Gavin De Becker from
his book The Gift of Fear, describing how one adult who cares can make
a tremendous difference in the life of a child. Also recently Susan
Melancon shared her views on "wholesome censorship". Her view that
"The
first amendment has stood erect for some 200 years now and it does not
need librarians to protect it" not only denegrates the whole democratic
process, but flings a further insult at parents, children and young
adults. It is implied that they cannot make their own choices, but we
know what is best. When I was in 12 or 13 I was reading My Darling, My
Hamburger and my mother at some point must have read some part of it
because she freaked out and called the school and embarrassed me to no
end. That is why I will always remember that title, but not much of
what the story is about and certainly not what she went ballistic over
(probably sex). It just may have been the kernel that bloomed in
library school...
My point being, "wholesome censorship" is a euphemism for repression.

ubject: Internet Access for Youth and Librarian Tolerance
If anyone thought Will Manley was exaggerating in his recent columns on
librarian intolerance on the subject of intellectual freedom, you need look
no further than the nasty responses to Susan Melancon for committing the
crime of daring to display a little honesty and common sense.
We all censor in our jobs as librarians. None of you select "Hustler"
for
your collections. And don't tell me it's because of economics, because as
you remember, you were offered a free subscription. We all deliberately and
consciously exclude whole classes of material because the content is
offensive. We don't accomplish anything by trying to pretend that's not
true. Censorship isn't a dirty word. Censorship, for lack of a better word,
is good for libraries.
Wrapping oneself in the First Amendment and declaring the opposition against
free speech is both a smear and a straw man. The First Amendment isn't a
set of absolute values, it's a process of ever-evolving principles, some
black & white but with many shades of gray.
The "which families values do we choose then" argument is bogus. Free
Speech Absolutism that says "if a child has a question, that question needs
to be answered, not matter what it is" most certainly, definitely *IS* a
value. When you insist on unfiltered Internet access for children, you are
imposing a set of values on those children and the community. It's complete
rubbish to say otherwise. Ironic that the free speech absolutists are
guilty of what they charge the religious right with, isn't it?
It does take a village to raise a child, and librarians are a part of that
village. All filtering say is "let's set a reasonable floor of appropriate
content by keeping the pornography that we would never select in paper or
video out of the library's computers". When parents live in a community
where their children are protected from pornography, they have a right to
ask that the library act similarly. That really isn't asking that much.

Subject: Re: Picture books/Easy readers -Reply
What attributes determine a "reader" can be varied. As far as I know
there is no one correct answer. At my library, the youth department
determined that for our purpose, readers usually fit this criteria:
numbered pages, lots of white space between lines of text, short and
easy sentence structure, and text that can stand alone from the pictures.
We do consider controlled vocabulary, but it isn't the only factor.

Subject: Adolescent "Recreational" Interests
PU>Mr. Schact makes two interesting claims about adolescent
"recreational"
PU>Internet use. First of all, he assumes that it is
"recreational," not
PU>"informational," that wonderful dichotomy librarians invoke when
they want
PU>to disapprove of something, (dare I say "something kids like")
PU>Mary K. Chelton
Not quite, Ms. Chelton; the lesson he has learned over many years of
serving YA's is that, just like everyone else, they use whatever media
is available for both informational AND recreational purposes. The
question he poses is whether librarians should be obligated to assist
them in accessing graphic images (not print) which child psychologists
etc. might consider to be [potentially harmful and age innapropriate ie
web sites featuring explicitly violent and or sexual content unless said
young persons clearly have parental approval for such activities. How
many of us would interloan a copy of that Madonna classic SEX for an
interested 13 year old who thought it sounded like fun? Not a whole
lot, I would wager; this is not a question of intellectual freedom; it
is a matter of common
sense. Are we out campaigning in the streets and picketing movie
theatres for violating the rights of Jr. High students by not letting
them into R and NR movies? Nope. Why? Because reasonably wise persons
realized many years ago that exposure to lots of sex and violence wasn't
good for growing kids, even though said young persons might be strongly
attracted to them, and so now they have to wait until they're 18 to
see adult movies. Where's the problem with having two types of public
access terminals in each library; some filtered for use by all ages and
some non-filtered for use by adults or young persons accompanyed by
adults? We wouldn't be censoring anything from adults, and as far as I
can see kids would lose very little in the way of informational access.
In terms of their missing out on easy access to the sex and violence
sites,- some mistakes you've got to wait to make, I guess. We're not
talking book censorship here, people; just delayed access to
gratification for minors unaccompanied by adults.
Speaking only for himself, of course, not for his esteemed institution,

may not be quite right and very few titles for boys.
I've checked Best Books for Children, Beyond Picture Books and
have tried keyword searches in my electronic catalog. I don't know
of any professional source that lists books in such a way. This may
just be one of those unreasonable assignments given out by a teacher
without much thought. I am in the process of contacting the teacher

book.
-Aesop's Fables

Stories: Old Testament, One-Minute Bible Stories: New Testament, and One-Minute
Easter Stories
-Diane Goode's anthologies contain short stories and some illustration
-Two By Two by Barbara Reid
-I think they would enjoy any good story
-Any story with grandparent/child interaction, or stories with older adultsin
them (such as Rylant's Mr. Putter series) would appeal to an elderly person,
just as stories featuring children appeal to children.
-some of the picture books published by "adult" authors, such as Amy
Tan and Garrison Keillor
-Some of the older picture books, such as early
caldecotts,Tasha Tudor and other authors who have been "around for awhile

list called YALSA-BK. The purpose of the list is to provide a mechanism
for subscribers to discuss books online. Subscribers are invited to
discuss specific titles, as well as other issues concerning young adult
reading and young adult literature.
It is also an opportunity for subscribers to learn what has been
nominated for Best Books for Young Adults, Popular Paperbacks for
Young Adults, and Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, and
to discuss the books that have been nominated. Cumulative lists of
nominations for each of these annual lists will be posted regularly by
each of the committees.
YALSA-BK will give subscribers the same opportunity as observers
who attend ALA conferences and meetings to voice their opinions about
nominated books. From time to time, nominations for other YALSA lists
may also be posted.
In order to provide more opportunities for youth participation in YALSA
activities, young adults are especially welcome to subscribe and to
discuss books they are reading, especially those teens who belong to
book discussion groups.
The discussion list will be unmoderated and self-subscribing.
Undeliverable address will be automatically deleted. To subscribe send a
