Wisconsin Libraries may have to tell parents what kids borrowMadison, Wisconsin - Public libraries would be required to tell parents of children under 16 what books, CDs, videotapes and other library materials their kids check out, under a bill approved by the Legislature Tuesday.
With few exceptions, libraries now are prohibited from disclosing any records that indicate the identity of individuals who borrow library materials or use library services. The Assembly gave preliminary approval to the measure Tuesday, and the matter is set for final approval next week. The Senate gave final approval, on a 20-12 vote, to an identical companion bill Tuesday evening.
The measure would allow parents who request it to obtain records that document their children's library use.
"We're saying it's a parental right," said Rep. Sheryl Albers (R-Reedsburg), the author of the bill.
But Rep. Marlin Schneider (D-Wisconsin Rapids), who used Assembly procedural rules to block final approval of the bill, said he thought the measure was terrible public policy.
"It's a major invasion of the right of privacy of children," he said. "Children need to understand their rights are protected, and if government won't protect their rights nobody will."
Albers said the issue of parental access to library records was raised after two of her constituents received an overdue book notice from their local library for an item checked out by one of their children. The couple were told by library staff that they couldn't tell the parents the name of the overdue book.
Albers said that incident raised another question about whether parents should have the right to find out what kinds of books and other library materials their children are borrowing.
She said parents need "to be able to find out what their children are looking at."
Sen. Joseph Leibham (R-Sheboygan), the Senate sponsor of the measure, said it seemed odd to him that under current law parents could not obtain records of the materials their children are using from public libraries.
"This bill provides parents the opportunity to be informed and involved in the lives of their teenage children," he said.
Nurturing curiosity
In the Wisconsin Senate, Sen. Fred Risser (D-Madison) said children should be encouraged to be inquisitive, to use public libraries to learn more about any subject they're interested in, including some issues they may be unable or unwilling to discuss with their parents.
"I think we should encourage kids to use libraries, encourage their minds to be open to new ideas," Risser said.
"I don't know why we should have the public libraries be an investigative arm for parents."
But for Amy Van Weelden of Sussex, the legislation makes sense.
"I think it's a pretty good idea," said the mother of three children 11 and younger. "I pretty much censor what my kids bring home, anyway."
Van Weelden said such a check would not be an invasion of privacy.
"Not in a kid that young, no," she said while visiting the Pauline Haass Public Library. "I'm sure some teenagers might not think of if that way."
At the Waukesha Public Library, Samuel Van Eerden, a 14-year-old from Mukwonago, said that his parents should have access to his library records.
"Definitely, they have a right to what their kids are checking out," Van Eerden said. "They're our parents."
Difficult issue
Jane Ameel, director of Waukesha Public Library, doesn't see it as a black-and-white matter.
"It's a real complicated issue. . . . We expect each parent to decide what's appropriate for his or her child, and we don't get involved with that. It's each family making its own decisions.
"On the other hand, libraries and librarians value information, and people's access, unfettered, to information. As librarians, we have all seen many, many times in our career children looking for what most of us would feel is appropriate information for a young person growing up, (children) who are uncomfortable because they want confidentiality."
The State Bar of Wisconsin opposed changing the law to require disclosure of library records to parents, arguing that there are many children who feel that they cannot turn to their parents or guardians for information on topics such as drug and alcohol abuse, sexuality and sexual abuse.
"Should a young boy or girl that is being victimized by a parent or guardian now be victimized again by the disclosure of library records that may jeopardize their safety?" the bar association said in a memo to legislators.
The state Department of Public Instruction had recommended changing the bill to apply only to those under than 14, said Richard Grobschmidt, who heads the agency's libraries, technology and community learning division.
"At that age we felt children should have the freedom of mind and access to information," he said.
Grobschmidt said he that instead of changing Wisconsin state law, each library should be allowed to set its own policy on disclosure of records.
Paul Nelson, director of the Middleton Public Library and chairman of the legislative committee of the Wisconsin Library Association, said the association recommended a lower age and that disclosure be allowed only if library materials are lost or overdue.
Nelson said he did not believe parental access to library records was a major issue for library officials. Problems arise most often when books are overdue, he said.
"We've been able to deal with this very well at the local level so far," he said. "This is a local issue, and library boards should be able to set their own policies."
