Most libraries already have those policies in place. It's the parents place to oversee their children's reading material -not the government. Freedom of speech & access to the speech & writing of others is a fundamental right in our free country. Dictators regulate access to reading and education.

This move would give government way too much control over. Parents are responsible (and have always been) for what their children check out. Go with your kids to the library if you're concerned about what they're checking out.

It is the parent's responsibility to censor their childrens' reading materials, not the library, not the government. Librarians are not babysitters.
