I, too, am joining the discussion late, but found this website to be helpful:

I discovered this topic a tad late, so please excuse me if I am plowing
a tilled field. We have a limited number of computers for adultuse, all
in close proximity to each other, and all frequented by a wide range of
patrons. The library staff is not here to monitor patron use, but we
will certainly respond to complaints and questionable images we observe.
Frankly, if I observed the image Mr. Dutcher encountered, and the party
in question was still present he would have been banned permanently. Yes
the why question is the rub, but I guess I have to rely on my own sense
of what's appropriate in a public setting and what is not.
