Interesting clash of values vs worker rights vs civil liberties vs etc. in this story. Is blocking software censorship? Librarians file grievances over porn issue Paul Levy / Star Tribune Mary Doty stared in disbelief at the contents of the inch-thick packet of pornographic printouts delivered to her on behalf of seven Minneapolis librarians. "These weren't just pictures of pretty, nude ladies," said Doty, a Minneapolis Public Library board member. "It's really gross, abnormal-looking stuff, child pornography. . . . Unbelievable!" These printed images, found in library copy machines, on tables and on computer screens, were delivered Wednesday to Mary Lawson, director of the Minneapolis Public Library system, and board members. With them was a four-page letter accusing the Minneapolis Central Library, located downtown, of being a "hostile, offensive, palpably unlawful working environment." startribune.com
