The death of libraries has already begun, according to many industry watchers, and issues like limited budgets, brief hoursof operations, and lack of ebook and digital media integration are often cited as the cause.Exciting new libraries have sprung up, though, some of which are digital nirvanas. With comments that some look more like an Apple Storeshowroom than a public library, interesting new lending models and digital access have become the hallmark for library relevance.But one library system is currently under fire for its technology practices, and the American Library Association is being blamed for supporting thealleged criminal madness taking place. The Orland Park Public Library in an upscale suburb of Chicago has been at the center of legal battles andcontroversy over the terms of their computer lab, namely, the lack of internet filter on the computers and the resulting swarms of registered sexoffenders who use association/library-ala-under-fire-for-inappr. 12/4/2014

Library, ALA Under Fire for Inappropriate Computer UserPage 2 of 7According to the watchdog group Illinois Leaks, the ongoing problem stems from the library’s refusal to block pornography sites, including sites thatfeature child pornography. As a result, there have been numerous reports of users literally sitting at the computers and masturbating to the imagesthey’re accessing, as well as reports that women and children in the library have been accosted. In addition, reports have been made that some of theindividuals accessing these sites on the library’s computers are in violation of the terms of their parole, and that they come to the library because theirhome internet use is being monitored. While some 22 reports have been made already, the group states that none of the reports were shared with thepolice, a direct violation of the library board’s own policy.For its part, the library cites ALA guidelines and support that access to information should not be limited by public libraries, supposedly even goingso far as to state that child pornography qualifies as “information” and therefore should be accessible given that libraries are funded by tax dollarsand are therefore the property of the community. The Supreme Court ruled in 2003 (US v ALA), however, that this level of access does not extend tocriminal activities.The waters are further muddied in this case by ongoing fighting between the library board and local community members who want something doneabout both the computer use and the physical behavior that these critics say is directly tied to that computer use. Illinois Leaks has stated that theboard has blocked attempts to secure documents under the Freedom of Information Act, that it has barred individuals from speaking during thepublic comments’ portion of meetings, that it conducts illegal closed meetings on state and federal holidays, and more.
