SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle woman is challenging the Seattle Public Library’s policy of allowing some of its computers to be used for viewing Internet pornography.
Julie Howe says her 10-year-old daughter was disturbed after looking over the shoulder of a man Jan. 22 as he watched pornography at the Lake City branch.
She complained to a librarian who was sympathetic but told her the library doesn’t censor information.
A library spokeswoman, Andra Addison, told The Seattle Times (http://is.gd/k2eOIC ) it “believes in the right of each individual to have access to constitutionally protected material.”
