The Loudoun County Library Board has voted to let parents see their children's borrowing records and to prohibit minors from checking out R-rated movies.
The board said it also will consider eliminating all musical compact discs from the library system's collection.
Opponents said the stricter policies verged on censorship, while supporters said they were designed to give parents some control over what their children are watching and reading.
The board's actions Monday night came less than a week after the Fairfax County Library Board voted to consider establishing an ``adults only'' reading section in which books on topics such as sex and suicide would be off limits to juveniles without parental permission. by CNB
