[Michlib-l] Issues with Violent Video Games

[Derek Barth]

We had a patron complain about seeing some youngster in our library playing
a violent video game recently.

Our library board now plans to discuss the matter in terms of policy.

Are there any libraries in our state that prohibit certain video games?  If
so, are they only prohibited to minors/minors who don't have parental
permission or to everyone?

Does any library have a specific policy statement on this matter?

I'm looking for assistance in best responses.

Thanks to all who respond.
