Um duh, cause it's a Library. (One of) Library's jobs is to preserve our culture as expressed in the media arts. Library's don't judge that culture. They maintain it so current and future society have a chance to.
- Asbostos 11y agoI wonder if there has been art that was acceptable or at least tolerated once but is now illegal or so out-of-fashion that even libraries won't keep it? This certainly doesn't seem to be such a thing though. An example might be if the age of consent for being in a porn video or having sex has ever been lowered. Then the older work might become illegal to keep in a library.
- SomeStupidPoint 11y agoPictures of naked children have fallen out of fashion, and even platonic pictures of naked children have fewer collectors now than before the anti-child pornography laws went in to effect. I'm not arguing for or against, merely pointing out that in Victorian England, such collections were made and have trouble being maintained now.
