CDA LIBRARY: A quagmire for kids
Per Idaho statute, the Coeur d’Alene Library and Community Library Network (CLN) are separate entities with separate boards, funding, administration and materials collections. Coeur d’Alene’s Library Board is appointed by the Coeur d’Alene City Council whereas CLN’s board is elected by Kootenai citizens outside Coeur d’Alene. CLN and Coeur d’Alene purchase materials independently; however, due to a reciprocal arrangement, cardholders of either system can access materials from the other libraries.
Coeur d’Alene library card holders of any age can access any book including adult books and hypersexualized gay and straight soft porn in kids’ books. There’s a plethora of the latter with no end in sight to new additions. Rape and illustrated pedophilia are in books for minors within Coeur d’Alene’s collection. Doubtful? See just a sliver of examples at CleanBooks4Kids.com. As you peruse this sampling, be assured that Coeur d’Alene library’s board and management have been made aware of these objectionable materials. Their responses? Ignore or disregard.
