I have worked in the Friends of the Library book shop thru this winter and have been appalled by the video game noises coming from the Teen zone room. The cheering for killing and exploding is disturbing. I also question the spending of valuable dollars on videos and DVDs of television shows and movies. I can understand the science and educational series as seen on PBS and some cable outlets, but fictional TV series and movies are a far cry from what I expect our tax dollars to be buying.
