Here we go again. Everyone go to the site and vote in the poll.
I sure all parents want their children and teenage daughters to be at public libraries where pedophiles and sex addicts are getting "charged up" viewing online porn.

To the library, Dad.
Okay, good boy. Study real hard, now........
Besides, it gives the officials a place to go to view porn so that it doesn't show up on their Government computers.
Just did, though it looks like defenders of the first amendment are losing. Giving the targeted nature of the site and the classic double speak in their about us page though it does not surprise me.
Figures.
This town is such a... gah. Hate it.
This is the difference between Georgia and California. Georgia runs the filters in our library and very little porn gets through. We have banned people for porn in our libraries.
..Sacto, The Bay Area, and Lost Angeles County control California politically...
My reply to people who feel they have a constitutional right to view porn in a public library is the same as my reply to those who play porn DVDs in public view in their cars -- keep it at home.
Everyone knows why people view porn -- it's to do research on sexuality, right? It's to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the human boday, right? It has nothing at all to do with getting revved up, right? Of course not. (/sarc) If people want to get revved up, they don't have to ask my permission. But they'd better damn well not do it in the public library in the presence of my kids. Or in my presence, for that matter.
It's interesting how what, not too many years ago, was relegated to use by the "raincoat crowd" in shadowy areas of cities, is now gussied up and has its place right there in the library alongside Shakespeare and the Bible and "Highlights for Children" and "Curious George."
Maybe it's just me -- but this is not exactly evidence of societal progress.
Meanwhile the IDIOTS in the Ca state gov want to outlaw spanking.
It's for the children, doncha know!!
Idiots. The library deserves to be severely sued (and WILL be sued) for allowing child molesters to exploit children using porn chat rooms.
The electronic trail is extremely easily documented, making this the easiest case in the world for the California trial lawyers to collect huge cash payouts.
The Sacramento Library administration are certifiable morons.
The Fort Vancouver Regional Library District in So WA which has libraries in four counties refused to filter all computers for years until the voters got to them through their pocketbooks.
A few years ago we voted down a bond measure twice and it finally got their attention. All computers are filtered for adults and children now and the bond measure was passed. The ACLU and the ALA can go pound sand on their lawsuits, SCOTUS has ruled that filtering is permissable.
