This is so strange to me (and is every time a thread like this starts). I was given free reign of the school libraries when I was growing up in small town America and also was able to roam and check out books in our small public library. I can't recall anyone ever saying a word about something not being a book I could check out. (My mom, on the other hand, did forbid a few, but not many. She should have hidden some of the books on her own shelves, since I read a few sneakily that were definitely not right for me subject-wise, think nuns being murdered in the Congo) I was really into some non-fiction subjects that wouldn't have had much available in the children's sections.
DS8 is at a Catholic school and also seems to be able to check out whatever he likes. At our wonderful public library, the librarians have walked us to the "adult" section when books were there that DS wanted or might like. I'm just shaking my head that a librarian thinks it is her/his job to play book cop.
