Libres Interdits

One of the major problems that public libraries face is what to do about children's books that are controversial. Keep them on the open shelf? Put them in a special section? Withdraw them?

I have a solution.

Buy the book in a foreign language. The book cannot be objectionable if the child cannot understand it. And the child who wishes to read it will have to learn the language in which the book is written. This encourages the child to learn another language.
