Abstract
Notes that popular children′s material is being reassessed and criticised for portraying false images and stereotypes which reaffirm prejudices and inequality. Discusses compromises to full censorship including age‐related censorship and reserve stocks. Concludes there should be access to all types of children′s literature in the library but in varying degrees of freedom determined not by censorship but by controlled access.
