She would have more credibility IMO if her employment there was more recent and of a more professional nature. She herself states that she worked two nights a week in a clerical role. It wasn't her place to make waves about an issue that her superiors told her would be taken care of. <br /><br />I also doubt that Orland Park allowed anyone off the street to use a library computer. Most public libraries only allow internet access to cardholders who are either residents in the library boundaries or have purchased a non-resident card. Those resources are paid for by local residents property taxes and you have to prove you have a permanent address in most libraries to get a card. There is also restrictions on what content they can access, with more restrictions put on minors. For someone who is supposedly an "expert" on CIPA, you should know that. I can't think of any library in this country that would allow porn to be accessed on their computers, both for the moral objections and the increased risk of the library's network and hardware getting hit by viruses and malware. Given the state of library funding in this country, I think that making sure that all the computers both staff and public were free of viruses and malware would be a priority. <br /><br />It's also my understanding that the people who are pushing this issue are not residents of Orland Park, specifically Megan Fox. I wonder if she is doing this of her own accord. More than likely, she is acting as a proxy for a group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
