Since what I was going to say here was meaningless and reflective of me merely commenting on the material as it relates to my personal preferences, I'll simply let you guys have at it in hopefully thoughtful and intelligent deliberation.

"A cartoon depicting a person engaged in a sex act with a giant hamster..." does not belong in a public library, blah blah blah.

Either they are hypocrits, or they will immediately crack down on the various paintings of Leda and the Swan in their fine art books, too.
