You're Never Too Young to Learn at the Berkeley Public Library
The Berkeley Public Library now has a teen book that helps to guide teens to find Erotica. In the dictionary the only difference between erotica and pornography is that pornography can be writing or pictures.
In the introduction it states "Though some adults are afraid that giving teens access to sexually explicit material will expose them to dangerous ideas...sexually graphic material gives readers the opportunity to explore their sexuality in private..."
City Officials and the head of the library have been notified as to the title but no response has been given. So it seems that it must be perfectly okay for teens to be guided into the realms of pornography by the library. We do wonder how comfortable parents are with such a book?
