  Subject: [PUBLIB:4919] Brock Meeks praises Canton PL, ALA

  http://www.msnbc.com/news/105923.asp

  Brock Meeks of MSNBC today posted a very interesting column in which he
  praised Canton Public Library, MI, for its Cyber Kids program, gave the nod
  to ALA for its guidance to parents on its website, and--in a reversal of
  his column last week--warned parents that they should be accountable for
  their children's behavior.  Right on, Canton PL and ALA!  (Didn't a
  PUBLIBer play a role in some of the material on ALA's website?)

  He also cited TIFAP, The Internet Filter Assessment Project, for its
  involvement in identifying problems related to filters.

  Overall, it was a refreshing column and a satisfying read!
