LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONE. ANOTHER GRAPHIC NOVEL JUST DISAPPEARED FROM ROCKWOOD'S LIBRARY DATABASE.

Three days before a new law takes effect, "Let's Talk About It: The Teen's Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human" is no longer showing up in the library database where we saw it yesterday. 

The book is a graphic novel that shocked parents with images showing genitalia, masturbation and intercourse. It also encouraged teens to talk about "kinks" and fantasies online with strangers. It was available to kids as young as 14 in two Rockwood high schools. 

Read more about the book and see the images that could lead to jail time for school personnel that give them to students.

"Let's Talk About It..." was likely removed during a Rockwood librarian review of books. More on that below.

This is the screenshot from Rockwood's library database yesterday.

The same is true for Rockwood Summit High School. The book was in the library database yesterday, but not there tonight.

Rockwood librarians have been reviewing books in the district's libraries so they could remove any that are covered in a new law that takes effect Sunday. The law makes it a crime for anyone associated with schools to provide images of explicit sex to students.

Also, now, on Rockwood's website: the district's response to the new law.

Library database searches show that copies of other graphic novels are also disappearing from Rockwood's library database: "Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic," "The Handmaid's Tale: The Graphic Novel," and "Gender Queer: A Memoir." More about those books here.

We're told the district will post the removed books by Sunday, when the law takes effect.
