Extractions: TrackBack Print E-mail TalkBack The notion of filtering Net access at public libraries received very different reactions from the city councils of Coppell, Texas, and San Jose, California, yesterday, where officials tried to balance concerns about online pornography with cries of censorship. Silicon Valley council members voted 8 to 3 against a plan to create "children Internet zones," by installing blocking software on computers designated for use by minors at the cities' 22 libraries. Councilwoman Pat Dando's proposal was inspired in part by the Supreme Court's decision on the Communications Decency Act , in which Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's partial dissent suggested creating "adult zones" to keep kids out of the Net's red-light districts. San Jose's Library Commission supported the idea, but it was opposed by groups such as the

Handbook Of Texas Online: SCHOOL LIBRARIES The establishment of the texas Library Associationqv in 1902 provided a professional The 1960s brought many changes to texas school libraries. http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/view/SS/lcs7.html
Extractions: format this article to print SCHOOL LIBRARIES . The development of school libraries in Texas was slow and sporadic. Since few library records were kept by county and urban school districts in previous centuries, data were not gathered on the earliest attempts to establish school libraries. However, fragmentary records can be gleaned from the early publications of various libraries and associations. Before 1854 schools across the state undoubtedly had small collections of books. One of the earliest accounts of a school library shows that a New Braunfels school started a library in 1854. Another early library was established in 1881 at St. Edward's Academy in Austin. Although the state Constitution of 1845 qv provided for the establishment of free schools, it was years before the state had a well-organized, satisfactory public school system. Beginning about 1884, school districts started to build permanent facilities and to plan for future growth, and school libraries became more numerous. Ball High School in Galveston established a library in 1884. The same year a school library was started in Omen. In 1885 the Weatherford High School library had its beginning. A Tyler school, encouraged by Anna J. H. Pennybacker, qv began to build a book collection in 1887. Alvin High School started a library in 1890. Other school libraries established in the nineteenth century included Paris (1893), Houston (1894), Waxahachie (1897), and Dallas (1898).
