CleanBooks4Kids
OUR KIDS ARE WORTH PROTECTING. OUR LIBRARIES ARE WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
We love our children and we value our libraries. When we realized both were in danger, we united to protect them.
WHO WE ARE
We are fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, home schoolers, and concerned citizens who coalesced to form
CleanBooks4Kids:
a grassroots group of North Idaho citizens alarmed at the abundance of books
sexualizing, grooming and indoctrinating kids in our local libraries - at taxpayer expense.
Our mission is to educate the public and urge our
local library boards to make changes.
We are not for profit.
SEXUALIZATION & INDOCTRINATION
of MINORS is RAMPANT
in Public Libraries
It seems unbelievable, but there are 100s of sexually-explicit & obscene books in the Juvenile (under 12) & Teen (12-18 yr old) sections.
And more are brought in regularly by the libraries. Following are only a fraction*:
*After over a year of exposing books to the library boards, the libraries have quietly begun to reclassify some books as "Adult" without admitting there are obscene materials in the kids' section. Book classifications and library links have been archived so may not reflect current classifications and/or status in library collections.
This sign is from the
Coeur d'Alene library.
While reading the following book excerpts, keep in mind that the libraries consider
12 years old to be a
"young adult" and
that's who these books are for.
Coeur d'Alene

Say About This Issue
Senator Ben Toews
Idaho Senate
"We must protect the innocence of our children in the most vulnerable and formative years of their lives. There is a very real attack by the proliferation of sexually explicit materials in the classrooms, schools and libraries where we send our children. It is not censorship to make sure that our children aren’t exposed to sexual material - it is common sense. Anyone who would promote putting material within our children’s reach is either naïve or downright evil."
