Use your discretion about how much to read to your young child. As with any book. As a child age 10 I went to the library a lot and progressed to the adult section.the librarian would look sideways at me ask me why i was borrowing it then she would skim read a few chapters to make sure nothing too adult was there.it seemed so silly to me. I remember lady chatterlys lover and the quiet american which i got hold of without using the library.and was not disturbed by them .
