Pornography Available to Children at the Public Library

In Response to the American Life League Video, posted here last week, exposing the book "It's Perfectly Normal",  it's pornograhic verbage and images marketed to children ages 10 and up, it's ties with Planned Parenthood, and its images being rejected by the Washington State prison system, a reader wrote:

Did you know that this book is in our library system? As many as 16
copies from my search. What can we do? According to the piece on your
blog, it has been rejected by our state's prison system so why do minors
have the right to read it? Just amazingly sad.

I encouraged the reader to check with the library system to see what its policy is about sexually explicit material and/or pornography, and specifically, access to such materials by children.

She has a call into the Community Relations contact to clarify what the Library's policy is on pornography and minor children.  Check back here for their response.   

Meanwhile, here is what she found in the Sno-Isle Library system (note: there are two different editions of the book):
