Local community standards-- it's your right to speak up in a public library meeting and ask for filters, or fill out a comment card at the desk.
Just as I can voice my opinion that Jews or Negroes should be excluded from using the library's services, if I feel that way.
But they'd better not do it:
US Code, Title 18, US Criminal Code; Section 242:
Deprivation of rights under color of law
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
By the way: a person who charges a library with unlawfully censoring internet access can pick up TRIPLE damages since it's a civil rights charge, and the attorney handling the case gets time-and-a-half his usual fee. At a fairly typical $195/hour, what my attorney charges, that would break most library budgets after a few weeks litigation, not to mention the Official Misconduct charges in many states that can also result from a violation of federal law by a state or local governmental employee, and which carry removal from office as one possible and likely punishment for such scofflaws.
