Most libraries are able to deal with these types of accusations by pointing to their intellectual freedom policies and shrugging. I kind of wonder though if the library being accused would move the book from young adult, where Francesca Lia Block is usually kept, to the adult section, or behind a desk or something. It bums me out that this still happens.
