To that end, the local community sets the standards and the folks who run the library should ensure the catalog reflects the community standards.
No thanks.
If we adhered to that standard, my local library would be nothing but Left Behind books, Christian romance novels, various bibles, and right wing political books.
Yeah, I personally think most of the books you mentioned are incredibly damaging to children and they shouldn’t read them, but ultimately I know it’s none of my business and it’s up to them and their parents to decide that. It would never even occur to me to suggest that they be removed from the library.

I don’t think anyone was suggesting removing the Left Behind books, just that they not be the only option.
