A proposed bill in the General Assembly wants to protect your children from pornography that may be on library computers. The General Assembly is working to make public areas, like libraries, safer for our younger population.

The library internet filter bill was created by Valley Senator Mark Obenshain. It has taken four years in the making and approved by the senate, it works to make our libraries safer for our area's smallest residents.

Little Bryce Kline makes his way through the aisles. "In the library getting books." He's on the hunt for the perfect read.

His father Kevin, happy about the new library internet filter bill designed to help protect little ones like Bryce. "I think there's a place for that kind of stuff, and a public library is not one of them."

The senate approved bill would require all libraries that receive state funding to install internet filtering software to prevent people from accessing material that is harmful to juveniles. It goes on to say that appropriate measures will be taken against those who violate the law.

"It's good cause it's not a big issue but you know it is an issue that some parents are concerned with." As a parent who makes frequent visits to the library Kline hasn't seen past problems, but now he's reassured that places like this remain clean for his child's eyes. "It's just a good idea to do. Just to stop some of the wrong doings that shouldn't be going on here."

If this new legislation is passed, Kevin and Bryce will be able to enjoy their father son visits to the library safely. The bill passed with a 33-6 vote and now heads to the House of Delegates.
