Does BPL have a policy to help protect children from pornography?
Filtering, although not perfect, will provide a safety screen to block children’s access to pornography. At Brooklyn Public Library we do everything we can to create a safe and welcoming environment for children, and BPL staff and volunteers work hard to ensure that every child’s Library experience is a positive one. To this end, Library users are expected to respect the Library’s policy and act responsibly with regard to others’ sensitivity to certain materials. The Library’s policy forbids users to access materials that are legally defined as obscene, as child pornography, or, in the case of persons under 17, as harmful to minors.
