Stop the viewing of pornography in Public Libraries.

The Issue

Libraries should never be forced to use public or government funds to provide access to pornography. Libraries should be sanctuaries for people of all ages.  They should provide an atmosphere of safety and learning for our children. The viewing of pornography changes the atmosphere in the library not only for patrons but for the employees of the library. We must always balance the individual's freedoms with the needs of the ENTIRE community. We hope that we can find a solution that will protect all of the patrons of the library from seeing any sexually obscene and/or explicit material.
