WEST BEND - A West Bend resident is challenging whether the West Bend Community Memorial Library Web site should include a link to a list of fiction and non-fiction book about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues intended for young adults in grades 6 through 12.

A complaint, filed by Ginny Maziarka, will be discussed at the Library Board's monthly meeting in March.

The Web site shows a picture of each book cover and gives a short description of its plot.

There are no links for the books from the Web site, nor can they be checked out in the Ya Zone, an area of the library that is designed for teens.
