Librarians file suit about patrons' use of pornography Services debate about library access to the Internet and pornography. Mary Lawson, director of the Minneapolis Public library system, has said First Amendment rights are at issue. Dick Kaspari, attorney for the Librarians Union of Minneapolis, said a public institution has no First Amendment obligations to off er explicit material.

There are several possible remedies. Software that limits computer time might provide some relief. In Roseville, patrons must sign up to use a computer. Some people who intend to view porn sites sisn nfinnv namf Vint- nriiorc am The board also agreed to form a study committee that would include librarians who filed the complaints, Halagan said. For months, staff members and patrons have complained to the board about hardcore pornographic Web sites left open on vacated terminals, graphic printouts left on tables and youngsters mesmerized by Internet porn.

Pictures included scenes of bestiality and child molestatioa "We could see that nothing was really happening in terms of concrete steps being taken," said librarian Mary Kay Harris, one of the complainants. "Nothing had changed in three-plus years. It seemed that the situation at the library was escalating" The issue is part of a larger national MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A lawsuit filed by seven librarians accuses the Minneapolis Central Library of discrimination for allowing patrons to leave pornographic images on computer screens, tables and copy machines. "These weren't just pictures of pretty, nude ladies," said Mary Doty, a member of the library's board of directors. "It's really gross, abnormal-looking stuff, child pornography Unbelievable!" The librarians sent a packet of the pornographic printouts to Doty, along with a four-page letter accusing the library of a "hostile, offensive, palpably unlawful working environment." The complaints were filed Wednesday with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

At least two other librarians are expected to file similar complaints by the end of the week, said Robert S. Halagan, a Minnetonka attorney representing the librarians. On Tuesday, WCCO-TV in Minneapolis aired a segment revealing rampant Internet porn viewing at the ritjfc downtown branch library. Halagan said Wednesday night that he attended a library board meeting at which a motion was passed to post signup sheets for Internet use. In addition, die board is considering the use of a central printer, has ordered some recessed work stations to help ensure privacy and has discussed scheduling public forums, Halagan said.
