Library Porn Ban Stands in Rochester

Library porn ban stands for now - I have no objections to library's banning porn on their computers, even if an adult requests access, or if viewed with a privacy screen. It is a public place, and they have the right to set their own standards of what content is available in their library. Does this mean that they would have to put Playboy, Penthouse, Juggs, or Shaved in their magazine section? No those who run the library decide what is acceptable for their users, not the government.

I do have an objection to elected officials trying to withhold funding to libraries because of the content that is available at the library. Library's are supposed to serve the common good and if there is going to be governmental funding, it should not be dependent upon the content of what is available at the library. Not everyone has a Borders or Barnes & Noble in their neighborhood, so library's offer another place to go and be exposed (pardon the pun) to additional reading material.
