Sexually Explicit Books in our Public Libraries

Increasingly, parents are discovering books in the children’s section with inappropriate adult concepts. One such book, ‘Welcome to Sex’, was recently removed from Big W shelves following a nationwide backlash from parents and media due to its sexually explicit, cartoon-style graphics and highly inappropriate material aimed at pre-pubescent children. But it remains available to children in local public libraries.  Astonishingly, this book is on the 2024 shortlist of the Prime Minister's Literary Awards! 

Children need to be protected from inappropriate reading material, these books should not be in taxpayer funded, public libraries.  You have every right to have your say by speaking to the library manager and/or, your councillors.
