Pornography and libraries

According to OneNewsNow:

In less than an hour, patrons at one of the Dallas Public Library's 26 branches
accessed more than 5,000 pornographic websites, according to a recent
investigation by the Dallas Morning News. David Burt -- author of Dangerous
Access: Uncovering Internet Pornography in America's Libraries -- describes the
scene at the Dallas libraries.

"The terminals are out in the open. There are no privacy screens, no privacy booths or anything," says Burt. "Anybody who's walking by can see what's going on, seeing these people accessing thousands and thousands of pages of pornography every day."

Public libraries are backed by a very powerful legal arm of the American Library Association so protests are often ineffective.

On the other hand, money always talks. If your public library refuses to filter for pornography, the time to make their lack of responsiveness a major issue would be the next time they want a tax increase to fund some library improvement project.

After all, why should tax payers continue to fund an organization that thumbs it's nose at the very tax payers who support it?
