Sacramento public library system continues policy allowing porn viewing
The Sacramento Library Authority Board voted last Thursday to retain its policy of minimal interference with patrons who access pornography on library computers, News10 Sacramento reports. Board members also voted to spend $21,000 for more computer monitors with recessed screens to allow more private viewing . . .
In a letter dated April 28 and provided to the California Catholic Daily, alternate Sacramento Library Board member David Sander said, “I am just stunned that this is even an issue that needs debating.”
“Pornography does not belong in public libraries — period. Libraries are places for kids and families to learn and explore — not a den of sexual exploitation where anything goes,” he said.
The Child Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires restrictions on porn on any school or library that receives funding support for Internet access or internal connections from the “E-rate” program – a program that makes certain technology more affordable for eligible schools and libraries.
