1. Are any of you folks out there against limiting library users' Web
based email?

2. Are any of you folks out there against limiting library users' chat
conversations via the net?

3. How do free speech principles apply?

4. Should our Cambridge public library continue to forbid use of
cellular telephones in the building?

5. Would not communicating ideas be a part of the very same principles
for the mission and mandate of libraries?

6. Why would library users be limited to recording ideas for later
communication instead of using recent technology to communicate about
ideas more readily?

7. How about a louder separate reading room where people can talk, use
cellular equipment and communicate via email and chat type computer
programs and Web sites.

8. Is not communication a form of learning?
