San Jose Public Library - Internet access update
I attended the San Jose City Council Rules Committee meeting on Wednesday. I spoke during the public comment period as CLA Intellectual Freedom chair and presented a letter from President Monique le Conge in support of intellectual freedom and the San Jose Public Library's open Internet access policy.

In case you haven't been following the issue, a San Jose city councilman has proposed filters. The San Jose Public Library has a chronology of events, including a link to the filter proposal, staff response, and library director Jane Light's status report presented on January 23, 2008.
The issue will return to the Rules committee again, likely in March. If you live in San Jose, or know someone in San Jose (including kids, groups, churches, clubs etc.) who would be interested in helping support the library (letters, showing up at a meeting etc.), please let me know or ask them to contact me. Thank you.
