About a year ago in a discussion on this listserv, a product was mentioned
that was used at some libraries. This product was a sort of interent
security device that would time patron usage. It required the patron to
enter their library card number and then after a designated amount of time
would shut down their internet connection until the next day.

Sorry about not remembering the name of this product. I am interested in
hearing from librarians who have had experience with this product. Has it
worked for your library? What are the drawbacks?

Thank you.

Hi Shannon!!

I do know that the Public Library of Westland in Westland, MI has a small
built in puppet stage in the public area where the kids can retell stories
they have read and heard through the creative play of puppets.

Hope this helps...
