I am a huge fan of a semi-obscure TV series called LEXX. Iy has never been displayed to my knowledge, never promoted, and yet I can go to the counter and request it, or request it via OhioLink, and the DVD's arrives at the library for me to borrow.
The library is not trying to hide LEXX. They are not burning the DVD's, nor banning it.
They are displaying the more popular books, trying to expand minds keep people coming in, and draw in new readers.
LEXX is just a niche series that a small portion of the population wants to watch, so it never makes it to the displays.
you will still have subjective objections.
Is a book protraying 2 men hugging G-rated? Is a book protraying the same cover with a man and woman G-rated?
Is a book titled "Goldie Dust: My Life as a Drag Queen" with cover photo of Goldie both as a male and female G-rated?
How about a book titled: "The History of Gay Men in the MIilitary"?
You may not find any of the objectionable...but I guarantee you that there will be a group of people who do.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
