A national safety group wants libraries to pull certain books off shelves saying they could be very dangerous.

It's not because of the content but because the ink may contain lead. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, wants books published before 1986 to be removed for testing. 

According to the American Library Association, libraries would have to pay $300 to test each book or destroy it.

"To replace all of that with the small budget we have would be absolutely devastating," Kellog-Hubbard childrens' librarian Jane Napier said.

Napier said they would pull between 6,000 to 7,000 books.  She added it would also hurt attendance, which has been up.

Vermont state librarian Martha Reid said they won't have to remove books until Feb. 2010, if at all.

Book publishers are working to have school and public libraries exempt from this request. During that time, Reid said she will work to assure parents there is no safety concern.
