Please Reject
 

Please reject this legislation.  It does not make common sense to attempt to apply the term "sensitive" to materials in the library.  As long as materials selected for the library are chosen with the intended audience of children, it is nearly impossible to decide what some people deem sensitive.  In my opinion, materials in the library are protected by the First Amendment.  Parents have every right to decide what their child may or may not read.
