I can't see how touching books can give a child lead poisoning.<BR/><BR/>And is there any proof that they're harmful anyway? Have pencils been removed from all homes? Wouldn't they be even more harmful?<BR/><BR/>Morgan Mandel<BR/>http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411406100964208599.post-30884176669257903642009-01-27T22:35:00.000-05:002009-01-27T22:35:00.000-05:00The thought behind it is a good thing.

But is libraries clearing their shelves of books for children 12 and under helpful to this already struggling economy?<BR/><BR/>Is it a good idea for small publishers to go out of business because of the additional expense?

Would there be more lead poisoning in things today than there was say 50 years ago? Still, I think this is a good idea either way.
