The Ames Library Board voted 6-1 to support library Director Art Weeks' recommendation to keep the magazine Sex, Etc., in the teen section. The magazine is written by and for teens under the oversight of Answer, a national sexuality organization at Rutgers University. It addresses teen sexuality issues, substance abuse and eating disorders. Copies are placed out two at a time for teens to take home without requiring sign-out. A petition objecting the magazine was signed by 118 parents who said it was too explicit and was being given priority over other publications.
