From support of for many years, according to Ms. Baker. Ünder the Bill C-54 the offenses are: "exhibition of erotica to persons under 18; sale or rental of erotica to persons under 18; display of erotica without warning sign or cover; dealing dealing in pornography; possession of child pornography." In a critique of Bill C-54, commissioned commissioned by the Association of Library Boards of Ontario, it was stated that libraries "do have visual erotica and pornography largely (but not exclusively) exclusively) in art books, books relating to sexual health, anthropological books and photography books." "Libraries even have child pornography pornography because the definition is so broad," according to the critique. The consequences for the Newcastle Newcastle Public Library Board of an "approved "approved as is" Bill C-54 are numerous. "Does it mean we have to put up gates, and barriers and ask people for I.D. to be admitted to certain sections ofthe library?" wondered Ms. Baker. "What will happen to the student pages we hire to shelve the books?" she continued. The impacts on library service could be great. "We would need to devote serious staff time to a service (checking materials materials for compliance with Bill C-54) not presently offered by the library," said Ms. Baker. Certain library users could also be affected. "There will be a tremendous impact impact on the materials available for the 12-18 year age group," she said. Ms. Baker explained that the wording wording of the bill can be interpreted to mean that human sexuality is wrong. Furthermore, if that is the interpretation, interpretation, then many of the educational materials on the shelves today could be considered child pornography^, "If you fight child pornôgràphy vy', saying that.human.sexuality is wrong then the pornographers have won," said Ms. Baker. Under current legislation there Courtice Residents Show Concern Over New Plaza Page One have been cases where literature has been brought to prosecution, proving that the present-day laws do have some effect. The chief librarian is also concerned concerned over the fact that the bill puts the onus on the accused to prove that they aren't guilty. Once a charge is laid under the proposed legislation, then the accused accused must appear before the courts to show why the material is not in contravention contravention of the bill. There are certain defenses, including including educational, medical, and in some cases artistic merit, but the proof must still rest with those charged. The wording of the bill is also of great concern to many of its opponents. opponents. "The definitions (of erotica and pornography) are broad and the language language is vague," said Ms. Baker. Presently, Bill C-54 has passed second second reading and is waiting for review by a federal committee. Ms. Baker is among the many opponents of the proposed legislation who would like to see the bill withdrawn for some major work. "The definitions have to be much more carefully worded," she explains. explains. Unfortunately, libraires won't be the only ones affected by Bill C-54. All institutions, from art galleries down to variety and video stores could feel the effects of the anti-pornography anti-pornography bill. While Ms. Baker admits that the intent intent of the bill is not to incriminate the libraries, they won't be above the law. "We can't prevent police from laying laying charges," she said. A display is being set up at the Bowmanville Bowmanville Branch of the Newcastle Public Library this week to explain thë bill and its implications.
