The Alberta government has announced plans to implement changes in all public libraries to prevent children and younger teens from accessing material that includes graphic sexual images.
Municipal Affairs Minister Dan Williams introduced the measure on April 2 as part of omnibus Bill 28, which includes expanding child access restrictions on explicit materials to public libraries, increasing municipal accountability measures, building more homes in the province, and changing rules on vacant home taxes.
