LISNews: Librarian Blog Since 1999

The hot-button issue of pornography filters in city libraries went before the San Jose City Council again Tuesday. Members of the council remained divided over questions of cost and censorship.
The porn filters could cost as much as $100,000.
Councilman Ash Kalra said, "We all are in favor of keeping pornography out of the eyes of our children. However, we have to understand, especially in these budget times, that we should prioritize where we're spending our money and how effectively we're spending our money."
