“A truly great library contains something to offend everyone.” I love that quote.

Does your local elementary school carry Mein Kampf?

Mein Kampf is well beyond the reading level of the vast majority of elementary school kids (and those few who could read it probably aren't in a normal elementary school). Plenty of universities (and even some high schools) carry it for their history program though.

It’s a quote from the slideshow that OP posted. I assume it was included in support of the idea that librarians are meant to be impartial stewards of information.

I’m betting you don’t need a library to find something that offends you, though.
