A Public Library That Isn't Short on Space or Funds!

It is such good news to know that there is a public library out there that has such a surplus of space and funds that it can afford to include useful materials like these:

Commissioners voted 3-2 to approve the Stonewall Library and Archives request to move the extensive book, magazine and video collection to ArtSpace library at Holiday Park. The county-run library is owned by the city.

Some of the titles on a list that city staff compiled: 100 Percent Beef, Arab Slave Boys, and Lesbian Bedtime Stories.

"I had no idea this was what the homosexual book collection was all about," Naugle said before the meeting, showing a pack of nude gay magazines that city staff said are part of the Stonewall collection.

There's probably a place for stuff like this in a research library--right next to the collection of back issues of Mexican Beaver Quarterly and Little Lolitas. I'm not sure that it is exactly the best use of space and funds for a general purpose public library to house such a collection. But Fort Lauderdale--such a progressive place!
