Library, Child Pornography, Personal Privacy, First Amendment Rights, Bacon? What?

Well, my public library had Playboy and Playgirl in the periodicals section so pornography was most certainly allowed. And you could view porn on the computers which is why they put filters on the screen making sure that you couldn't see the screen unless you were sitting right in front of the computer.

And who is going to define when a pornography line has been crossed? I almost guarantee you have actual books in your collection that contain pictures that would be considered pornographic by a healthy cross section of the public. Hell, growing up, before I learned how to get access to it myself, the public library was the greatest source of pornographic imagery available to me.

If he had been doing this and someone just happened to see it I wouldn't have an issue at all. It is because the employee went out of her way to find out what he was looking at that I have a problem.
