Library Revolution

I saw this item via Techdirt today: A Florida woman is suing her library because they limit use of public computers to two and a half hours a day. The library also asks for ID in order to use a computer.

“These measures are enacted at least partly in a mean-spirited effort to remove the homeless and the less than wealthy from the libraries,” the woman claims. “For every person seeking an education or in need of research time while writing a book or even filling out a food-stamp application, the proposed time limit is wholly inadequate.”

My,my.

Well, I’ll be interested in seeing the outcome of this one.
