David, David, David - of the many problems which this approach presents
the one which immediately comes to mind is , even if we were to agree to
take on this role, WHICH SET OF PARENTAL STANDARDS WOULD WE ATTEMPT TO
ENFORCE? in view of the fact that some parents have essentially no
standards, some have very strict standards, and many more are somewhere
inbetween. I gather that you would like us to enforce whatever your
particular standard of morality happens to be, but where would that
leave all of the parents who are of a substantially different persuasion
and who would take major umbrage if we placed serious restrictions on
their children's freedom of inquiry in order to attempt to shield young
minds from things you consider pernicious? Some day you're going to get

Actually, any young person can enter a bookstore and look at and even buy
books of "art" which have "naked people" in them as long as they have the
money. I have seen children as young as 10 enter theaters to see R-rated
movies without having to have a parent or adult present, nor did they have
to show an ID.

We are not these childrens' parents. We are not given permission by any
parent to discipline their child, nor do we censure what that child may
read or look at. At most public libraries, there is an open library where
ANYONE has access to the books and media if they so choose. If that child
is old enough to be at the library unattended, then he/she is old enough to
pull a Maplethorpe off the shelf and look at the pictures, or a Howard
Stern, or Madonna, or any number of books with what could be construed as
Pornography. Does that mean we have to remove those books from our
collection?? Just because some 14 or 16 year old child wanders around and
finds an objectionable (to a parent) book is no cause to remove it. If that
parent doesn't want the child to view these items, then the Parent should
teach the child, then reinforce the lesson by accompanying the child to the
library to monitor him/her.

>There are still quite a few undemocratic public libraries that are governed
>by appointed boards, and hence not subject to local control.

These boards are usually appointed by the duly elected public officials of
any given city.
Boards have open forum meetings that anyone may attend and make comments.
All boards are very conscience of what the public wants. Pretty
democratic to me.

We are not babysitters... there are capable people that can be hired for
that job by the respective parents.

Most librarians do not have the time, nor feel it is their place to walk
around behind every child, regardless of age, and monitor what they pick up
and look at, much less what they search for on the internet.

Mr, Burt, we don't need anyone reminding us of our jobs. We are very much
aware we work in the public sector. I would like to know, though, where it
says in the city charter or state charter or even the Constitution of the
United States that all public librarians must become the loco parentis for
all the unattended children left in the library. Has some law been passed
that I am unaware of?

In protecting freedom of speech, we advocate nothing less then our
ancestors who founded our nation. Were they free speech absolutists? Is the
constitution a "radical agenda"? If we began "limiting" the rights of
people in one area, will we be expected to limit other rights in another
area, then another area?

The way this statement is phrased, assumes that none of our patrons are
radicals. After all, if there is a "radical agenda" out there that is in
anyway influencing decision, it must have been started and supported by
SOMEBODY...quite likely, people within our communities.

Hmmm...one could even theorize that radicals are even more likely to use
libraries than ultra-conservatives, as libraries by nature are rather
socialist institutions, where good capitalists would just buy the books
and computers in the first place, and support the economy.

I don't think ALL the responsibility should be with the parent, but I think
there IS a difference between a bookstore, theater or magazine stand that
SELECTS the materials to be sold, shown or performed, and a library that
provides access to a huge online network where a patron has the possibility
to going to find something ON HIS ONWN that the library has not "selected"
to present. Yes, the internet has changed the rules, and I do believe the
library has a responsibility to assist children and young adults in using
it positively, but the rules have changed for all of us, in homes, schools,
libraries, anywhere a young person has access to the internet.
However, it is certainly unnecessarily inflammatory to say the library is
"providing" pornography, as though the librarians were looking it up and
handing to to kids, when the the kids are doing their own looking.
"Providing" is not the same as being "used." By analogy, if I were to
follow David Burt's reasoning, the mother of my four-year-old friend who
had aspirin and prescription medicines on the top shelf over the stove,
which we rascals managed to climb up and get when she wasn't looking (and
ate them and had our stomachs pumped) "provided" us with dangerous drugs.

Subject: Accelerated Reader blues

Well, its happened for the seventh time this week. "When are
you going to label your Accelerated Reader books?" Only this time it
came on the heels of a principal asking when the public library will get
their Accelerated Reader computer, too. They want to continue it over
the summer!
So, I was wondering ... does the fervor for this thing ever die
down? This community has had it for 2 years and is expanding it into
all of the schools next year. I haven't seen any sign of the labeling
issue, point hunger, etc. wavering either in the kids, the parents or
the educators. Labeling is really too much, we have 15 schools in the
area and each one has different disks. My current excuse has to do with
time/cost expenditure and the children learning library skills.
Honestly, I'm uncomfortable with it.
I am afraid that having a commercial, curriculum-driven,
incentive-based reading program will corrupt my ability to serve the
public's needs. Of course the school children and their families are
the public too and I have an incentive-based summer reading club program
every year. Am I being a stick-in-the-mud or am I standing up for the
sovereignty of the public library? How do other public librarians handle
it?
I like that the kids are reading too, but the new Newbery book
sat on the shelf for two months before someone read it because "it isn't
an accelerated reader book". I apologize for my rambling/rant, but is
anyone else frustrated with this?

Our library is still in the "dark ages" when it comes to ordering
books. We still use paper
order slips and laboriously file them to be able to check if a
particular book being requested
by a patron is on order or not (i.e., not yet in our computer catalog).
We are wondering how other
libraries deal with this problem? We are a small library, not part of
a system, and do not have $$ for an acquisitions module compatible with
our Dynix system. Our ordering method is primarily to Ingram using
Flashback, although when we order from other vendors, it gets worse
because staff have to type (yes, type!) each order slip even though the
vast majority of these books will not be requested
by patrons before they are processed and in the computer catalog...
Needless to say, there is
grumbling in the ranks in technical services!

Maybe some of you use inexpensive software programs or have other

this; any suggestions will be appreciated!

Point of information. The library doesn't provide pornography via the
internet. [*] The library simply makes it possible for people (including
children) to run out and get pornography on their own - if they so choose.
Seems to me if your child is actively choosing to hunt down pornography,
its not the library that has the problem.

Except of course, that this is the age of the victim. No-one is actually
responsible for their choices, or it seems, their children. Putting
filters on the computers isn't going to fix the problems these kids have.

But I shouldn't start. My opinions on the matter have been aired before.

I just checked our copies of both _Boys and Sex_ and _Girls and Sex_. They

can help prevent AIDS" quote. It is, in fact, in both volumes, stated in
the identical fashion. It is not in the section about prevention, but in
the section about showering after sex. In _Girls_ it is on page 110, and
in _Boys_ it is on page 113. It seems that if there is a newer edition, it
is out of print. Anyway, that is what I found out. Hope this information

ubject: Web resources

Hi all,

Someone recently ask about web resources for their page. I just wanted to
let you know that I have just uploaded a new treasure hunt, as of
yesterday. The treasure hunt from April is archived and also still
available with active links. This will give your students a good half hour
of productive educational surfing. I hope this will be helpful for your
summer programs.

This is FREE On-line treasure hunt was designed to be both educational and
fun for children. This takes children to very safe, but diverse sites on
the Web that will give them multiple resources and possibilities.
Recommended grade levels: 3rd grade and up!

I'm looking forward to seeing you PUBYACers in D.C.
