Obviously I am not for minors viewing sexual material but wouldn't this be protected under the First Amendment of the US Constitution?
"ST. LOUIS — Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft is crafting a rule to block state funding for library books and other materials that appeal to the sexual interests of minors, but said his proposal would not ban any books.
Ashcroft said he didn’t have a list of “prurient” books, which he also referred to as “smut.” He said he’s seen some books written for “tweeners” displayed in libraries near a computer intended to be used by young children. Asked if “tweeners” meant readers of young adult fiction, Ashcroft said yes."

You can do a lot when you control the funding.
