The Fredericksburg regional library says it will do more to educate parents on how to safely search its catalog of books, e-books, audiobooks, and videos following a complaint filed by a Stafford County mother.
The Central Rappahannock Regional Library Board of Trustees met at 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 29, to examine the complaint in which the mother of an 8-year-old girl was shown the title "You Know, Sex" while searching the library's online catalog on her iPad. Amazon describes the book by stating, "hormones, reproduction, and development... power, pleasure, and how to be a decent human being." The book "grounds sex education in social justice" also covers pornography, trauma, and masturbation."
