Maybe the solution is to take the computers out of libraries. A bit draconian, perhaps, but the primary purpose of libraries is to make books available, and they aren't doing a very good job of that these days. Too much space and too many resources are being diverted to computers, office space, and other peripherals.

Most people can go on-line at home. Or visit a cyber cafe. I don't see any other way of dealing with this issue, because you know the liberals will never leave it alone, and the librarians' union seems to favor pornography.

Really? I thought the primary purpose of libraries was to make papyrus scrolls available. You mean information can be stored in other formats? Cool!
