"Neither the library nor library staff shall act in loco parentis. Selection and/or shelving of materials will not be influenced by the possibility that materials might inadvertently come into the possession of minors."

Yet according to the article, the library workers who pulled the book from the shelves "...remain baffled as to the reasoning behind their dismissal."

And honestly, I'm not sure which is worse: that one woman decided to basically steal the book from the library so that no child might ever see the graphic novel that (again, according to the article), "...meets no standard of obscenity by the law," or that they went into a patron's library card account to look up who was requesting the book (thus violating privacy rights), or that they didn't contact the patron or her parents for the parents to review the content and approve or deny their child the right to read it.
