Re: What a relief. But...

My point is that they are not censoring anything. The filters just keep things that children should not see out of their reach. Anything an adult wants with the exception of porn are there for the asking. All you have to do is ask.

I'm sorry, but you're just not seeing it -- of COURSE they're censoring -- you just said so! They're censoring much of the Internet for children ("things that children should not see", whatever those are -- as defined by the censorware companies, I assume), and they are also apparently permanently censoring all "porn"ography!

Not to mention that having to ask permission to use unencumbered access is a bit intrusive and embarrassing, kind of like doing price checks on condoms over the store loudspeaker.

I'm not saying libraries shouldn't be selective, or that Hott Wett Slutz 2005 should be on the magazine rack, I'm just trying to define the discussion better.
