The New Internet Laws Will Hurt the Poorest of the Poor
http://www.alistapart.com/stories/downbylaw/

"A LIBRARY'S CORE MISSION is to provide free and full access to a world of =
ideas. The most exciting thing to happen in libraries in the last decade =
has been to see that mission extended to include access to the Internet. =
New library services, funded by generous federal support, have made more =
Internet access available to more and more people. Now, those same sources =
may force public libraries to censor Internet access."
