Thanks for your feedback Katherine, I do agree that children should be able to self-censor what they read to a certain extent. I feel that if any censoring does take place it should be performed by the parents, as it is to be hoped that they would know better than the librarian what they can cope with it. I don’t feel that they should blame the librarian if the child borrows a book that they disapprove of. It is a very tricky and potentially contentious area, particularly as I have no children.
