One week after the Sioux Center Library board voted 8-1 to continue offering a sexually explicit book called “Icebreaker” to any patron with a library card, it has been discovered that the library also stocks a book called “Identical” in the 12-year-old section of the library.
The book graphically details multiple incidents in which a 9-year-old girl is sexually abused by her father, including one incident while her identical twin sister watches. In addition, the book contains violence, including self-harm and suicidal ideations, profanity and derogatory terms and drug and alcohol abuse.
The abuse of the daughter, Kaeleigh, started when she was nine years old.
The content is labeled as “explicit and disturbing” with many considering it inappropriate for children or sensitive readers.
According to the American Library Association, the Young Adult section of a library is for children 12-18 years old. “Identical” is shelved in the Young Adult section and has a “young adult” sticker on its spine.

Here are some of the reviews:
That seems to me to meet the definition of Child Pornography and the people who voted to leave that on the shelves as well as the individuals who physically put it on the shelves should all be indicted for Distribution of Child Pornography and sent to prison for a long, long time.
