CALGARY—The Alberta government plans to develop guidelines for school library book selection after finding “sexually explicit” content in a number of K–12 libraries in Edmonton and Calgary.
The province made the announcement at a May 26 press conference, where Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides said his ministry had identified several “inappropriate” books in kindergarten to Grade 12 school libraries containing graphic content on topics such as sexual activity, nudity, and molestation, after first hearing about them from concerned parents.
