No MySpace Please

 

 

No MySpace Please, originally uploaded by Jeff Kreger.

Update:
Jeff writes: A little more background. That picture is from a branch connected to a High School. There is security at the branch all day and even the local sheriffs stopping by after school lets out to make sure everything is in order. We have 32 public PCs and they felt not enough staff to keep watch. Complaints were made about students grouping around the machines and making noise so the decision was made between our director and the schools superintendent to not allow anyone to use it. I get a chuckle out of the whole thing!

    But I don’t understand why the library would ban MySpace. Are they short of bits?

    Obviously, it’s a serious problem if you let your library run out of bits — you have to go back to quill pens and index cards until the next delivery — but I wasn’t aware that MySpace was particulary heavy on bits.

    Even with the backstory, that sign makes me so sad.

    This way of thinking (or not) always confounds me.

    Well, at least they can still use Facebook…
