While not technically a book ban, some residents are concerned this will be a roundabout way to get rid of books some people deem inappropriate.
The Huntington Beach City Council is considering a potential library review board to determine which books are appropriate for children.According to councilmember Gracey Van der Mark, the motion and potential committee aim to restrict access to library books containing sexual content to people over 18 years old â anyone under that mark would need a parent's approval to read them. 'Children should not have access to these books,' said Van der Mark.
'When I looked at the resolution and I saw 'sexual content' â that is so broad and so vague. It affects just about all the books you can think of. If you think about sexual content, what does that mean? Dating? Kissing? Almost all of the classics I can think of have sort of sexual content.'According to the resolution, the city council considers some sexual images and writing in children's books in Huntington Beach library 'obscene and pornographic.
