But library officials say it's the parents' responsibility to restrict what their children are doing online.
"If they're concerned with what they're viewing on the internet, they need to be there guiding them on their use of the internet," said Director or Roswell Public Library Betty Long.

Just yesterday I wrote "Playboy for Children Says Gina Millsap, Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library Executive Director," about another ALA leader pushing porn on that community's children. Roswell, you are not alone.
The ALA's so-called "Library Bill of Rights," as if it's supposed to be controlling constitutional law, essentially claims it is age discrimination for librarians to keep children from any material whatsoever. That's the parents job. Exactly what Betty Long and Gina Millsap are saying. Citizens are supposed to ignore or never even hear about US v. ALA. That's where the US Supreme Court said, "The interest in protecting young library users from material inappropriate for minors is legitimate, and even compelling, as all Members of the Court appear to agree."
Is anyone else starting to see a pattern here? Is local control of libraries possible where ALA acolytes are misleading the local citizenry? Is pornography "information" for children? Is saying it's the parents fault that children are viewing unfiltered Internet pornography in a public library acceptable? Do people realize communities do not want porn pushed on their children and library directors who talk and act otherwise are actually representing the ALA, not their communities? Are there no consequences for failure to act in the public's interest?
"One New Mexico library is defending its internet use policy against parents who say it gives kids full access to pornographic websites." Why is the library "against parents"?
Roswell citizens, will you act to stop your library's director from allowing the sexualization of your children in your public library? Contact me and I will attempt to assist you in righting this wrong.
