Comic from Unshelved about a boy asking librarian about what books he can check out and the librarian telling him he can check out any book. The teacher says it's above the child's reading level and they have a policy. The librarian replies he loves the sound of a breaking policy breaking.

Age ratings should be guidelines, not restrictions. Maybe the kid would enjoy some books that are outside their age bracket, but if they aren't even allowed to try, then they could never find out.

Except maybe if the books are exceptionally gruesome. I once read one random page in a book from De Sade and ... reading that is not recommended for any age imo.
