Censorship...just no.

Had to take about 10 minutes to explain to a patron why we don't censor books just because they have graphic sex in them. I asked her how would she like it if someone decided all romance books had to go because they were silly or mysteries because they promote murder. She also wanted to know if we had that 'Huckleberry Finn' book that was supposed to taken off shelves too. I told her I was pretty sure our copy is in the juvenile section which got an interesting look from her.
I wish I had the nerve to tell her I liked graphic sex in my books but I really don't anymore so that would have been a lie...a really, really funny lie, but I like my job and don't need to be 'let go' without cause just now.
I kinda hope she comes back to complain to someone higher up because my boss gets to tell people no without fear of losing her job.
