Date:                June 22, 2004                                                                                                   

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the specific Library Internet Policy options described in the Town Manager’s memo of June 14, 2004 to the Mayor and Town Council.

The Board discussed this at its June 21, 2004 meeting.  The meeting was attended by all of the people listed above except members Johns and Rector and liaison Kerrick.

The Board reviewed all three options in the June 14 memo with special attention to Option A, voluntary filtering for adults and parental choice for minor children.

After careful consideration, the Board affirmed its earlier recommendation of Option B, unfiltered Internet access.  The vote was 7-0.

Thank you again for your consideration and continued support for the Chapel Hill Public Library.
