<p class="MsoNormal">When you circulate R rated movies at your library, how do you deal with children who want to check them out? Does circ staff check each DVD for a rating and make sure the child is of age? Do children have a different card than adults?
Has the availability of R-rated movies been a problem with parents?<o:p></o:p></p>
