Excerpt: Birmingham's library does have a policy for Internet use and subscribes to a filtering service for all public and staff workstations, according to the library's website.

The filtering service, however, will be turned off at the request of any adult user, according to the policy. While the filter limits the amount of pornographic or obscene materials available on the Internet, no filtering service is completely effective, the library's policy states. "The library does not control or edit what is made available or filtered out by this service," according to the policy.

"The library strives to balance the rights of users to access these resources with the rights of people to work in a public environment free from disruptive sounds and offensive visuals," the policy states.
