At the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library in downtown Dallas, pornographic Web pages flash across the computer screens all day. According to a recent Dallas Morning News analysis of Web pages accessed at the library, about 7.5 percent are pornographic.
Top city officials said they'll immediately review the matter.
"It's certainly concerning to me. It's surely not appropriate in a public library, and it's not a signal we want to send," Mayor Tom Leppert told The Dallas Morning News. "We want people to come to our libraries and use them for traditional reasons. Viewing this material — it's clearly not what the computers in the library are there for."
Leppert said pornography-filtering software on library computers probably is warranted.
