Here in Sacto the libraries follow ALA guidelines and line the machines up so that the whole library can see what you are browsing. You will be booted if seen viewing inappropriate material. Repeat offenders are banned, given a trespass warning by the police and no doubt checked for warrants. This leaves 'inappropriate' to the librarians and patrons discretion, I'm OK with that. Librarians are hired by local government, problems are delt with locally.

But someone with a breast cancer diagnosis can actually see sights with words that might make teenager giggle. If they dig they might actually see a (hoping this is'nt potty language) breast!

They don't have computers at all in the children's section of the library near me, nor should they.

As to "breast cancer," that link "a)" I gave you in my last post shows filters properly filter out the right stuff and allow the breast cancer research through. And honestly, it's peculiar how everyone, not just here, uses breast cancer as the example to use, curiously, just like the ALA. The ALA continues to say filters don't work and filter out breast cancer. They know better by now so that's not a mere oversight -- it's misinformation.
