Can I restrict my child's access to certain titles?

Bookshare tags some books as "adult content," which depict extreme violence or explicit sexual content.  Those books are not available to readers under 18, or adult readers who "opt out" of seeing adult content in their searches.  If you find a title that you believe should be tagged as adult content, please let us know.

Bookshare is a content neutral collection, and includes books from a variety of perspectives for a wide breadth of readers.   We cannot -- and should not -- make decisions about what content will be most appropriate for your family and its values.  If a minor without print disabilities is able to walk into a public library or bookstore and get access to a book without an adult's involvement, a Bookshare member who is a minor will be able to access it here under the same terms.  

We encourage families to talk together about what their younger members are reading.  You know your child better than we do, and can help them find books that are a good fit as they grow and mature.
