We have yet to make a YA section in our library for that very reason. The kind of book you are referring to usually ends up in our adult section. But we also have a grant that may change all that. If we get this grant we will be making a YA place in our library. Then the question will be what do we put in there that is not offensive, yet challenging?<BR/>Thanks for your thoughts.<BR/>DL LarsonDeb Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115066586448611470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-13502413228942308072007-06-08T07:43:00.000-05:002007-06-08T07:43:00.000-05:00I agree, and I always made sure my son saw things ...I agree, and I always made sure my son saw things age appropriate to his age at the time. Unfortunately when I said no to the slasher films a friend of his' mother rented them when he was visiting over there so they coud see. She knew what I felt too. This is sorta the backlash to the child abuse issue that my genreation was owrried about. I see parents who kids scream so instead of saying no to the ice cream or candy or toy in the store they buy it for them, for someone says, "Oh, she/he's abusing the child, right?" I checked out a Y.A. novel by Holly Black--now I loved it, but there was a b lue color word I used in my erotic romances but wouldn't put in a YA novle. It was in the YA section too of the library. Shocked me as my YA fantasies as a child wpuldn't have them. of course, I read adult novels young as I was advanced in my reading. But novels weren't bad back then, not as much as could be today. But shocked me about the YA novel using a word using in sex that never seen in a YA novel before. <BR/><BR/>PamPamela K.

However, at the 9 p.m. screening I attended, there were at least five families that brought their very young children along (cheaper than a babysitter, I guess)Reel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-5230999468528034522007-06-07T12:36:00.000-05:002007-06-07T12:36:00.000-05:00new to your blog. i agree with your view on what c...new to your blog. i agree with your view on what childern should see and shoud not. <BR/>In India we feel, its much better coz we dont get to sent the children for any of that kinda movie.. and forget abt the books. <BR/>but with time, Inidan Parents too are going to have the same tension.<BR/>Good Post<BR/>bsBeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841867640336871549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674828414021418178.post-72438286449188441362007-06-07T11:22:00.000-05:002007-06-07T11:22:00.000-05:00-.--.-Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395002016308662008noreply@blogger.com
