It's not the porn that draws them . . . public libraries, by nature of being warm and free and have ways to kill time, do that on their own.
No. Once the San Antonio public library blocked porn sites, about 2/3 of those guys disappeared.
When you could get porn nine or ten guys would be lined up outside the library at 9 a.m. waiting for the doors to open. After they installed blocks they weren't there any more. Besides, San Antonio's problem isn't cold it's the heat.
The library limited people to 30 minutes at a time on the Internet, and I saw a guy striding up and down yelling at the librarian, "When is my turn? That guy's been on more than 30 minutes!' And then the minute he sat down at the terminal he started hitting buttons and bringing up porn expertly. A nine-yr. old little girl was runnning around the aisles near him.
