Library Funding

In recent years some school libraries in our state have made available to children publications that have contained graphic material that should been for adults only. Some of these publications are promoting alternate lifestyles that should not promoted to our children at an early stage of life.

It appears rules can be established that allows the funding of libraries. Those same rules will force libraries that allow children access to inappropriate materials to forfeit some of their funding. I believe this approach is more logical and would not punish libraries that are not exposing children to adult material.
