[Publib] DC Nightspot vs. SC Library Programs

[Judith Turner]

Last night I described both stories to my husband, a non-librarian, and asked him which was the real story and which the ringer.  He said -- with no hesitation -- the SC library program was obviously the fake.  

A bit of background- he's a computer-savvy engineer and businessman who recently retired from the company he founded in the health care information industry. He's also very newspaper-oriented -- a great(?)-grandfather founded the New Richmond (WI) News in the 19th century and the paper remained family-owned until his uncle passed away in the mid 20th century. Like the rest of us, he's aware of the stories about the shenanigans of Paris, Lindsay et al.

His reaction to the stories convinced me to pose this question -- when/how did public libraries become such a vulnerable spot in the ongoing conflict between Fundamentalism and personal liberties?
