Program update: Bob Smith, Director, Medina County Public Library will join
Christine Hage and Steve Helm on the Internet Access in Public Libraries
panel discussion.  He will discuss his experience as a library director who
has been required to filter Internet access, not by choice but as part of a
state-wide mandate.  You will learn how his library system has handled the
controversy as well as the realities of implementation.
