I understand the concept of age inappropriate vs banning, however, if you look at the list of banned books it seems to me age inappropriate it too often used as an excuse.
While in the children's section at the library helping Craig & his friend find books for a school report I was not happy to also find a rather explicit book on the facts of life. I did not request it be banned from the library, just moved out of easy access to the book. It was then that I understood why my father was so upset when he found I had check MADAME BOVARY out from the school library. Funny though because his concerns regarding the book actually had the opposite effect. I found Madame Bovary to be a stupid bore.
