School libraries, in general, have a number of restrictions placed upon them with regard to the books they choose to stock for their library. It can depend on the values that the school wants to uphold, behaviours represented in books that are deemed inappropriate within the school and also the values of the school community as a whole, and this will include parents. Some may say this is censorship, but I don’t agree. That’s like saying it’s censorship if you don’t allow profanity in the school yard. There will always be limits to what school libraries have in their collections, and these limits will vary from school to school, and that’s just the way it is.
