(Question Number 3) I would definitely not agree with having ten specific words in a library book blocked out, much like TV producers bleep out objectionable words on TV because those specific words are a part of the book. Without those words, the books would seem awkward and it's not fair to make a entire book seem awkward when it really isn't. If parents have a problem with a library book in the library, it doesn't mean their child is going to read it. It's only one of the many hundreds of books in a library.
TV is a different situation compared to books. Parents might want to watch a certain show during dinner but they don't want their children to see it with them because of certain parts in the show. But since TV is a public thing at home, they can't stop it. With books, not every single child or family member can see it. They can choose if they want to read it or not. It is all under their control. Plus, to want to block out the ten specific words is only the parent's opinions. The child or children might be enjoying the book so far. Also, it is only ten words out of more than 1000.
