MYSPACE in the PUBLIC LIBRARY

[leianne00]

This is for anyone who is stuck using the computers at the library and want to check on their MySpace account. A friend was really pissed for me and wrote the following letter to the FayPubLib. ENJOY!

Message: Why can't adult users access myspace.com? I understand protecting children, but doesn't it recognize that I'm an adult when I'm using my account to log on? Just wondering.

Thanks,

Dear Ms. Netterstrom,
