The Tucson-Pima Public Library will install privacy screens around its computers so passers-by won't be exposed to pornography.
The Pima County Board of Supervisors adopted that policy on Tuesday in response to concerns about viewing of online pornography at library branches.
The supervisors voted to spend $40,000 on the privacy screens, which will extend outward on both sides of each computer monitor but will be open at the top, so someone could stand behind a computer user and look over his shoulder.
Library Director Nancy Ledeboer said the screens, her preferred option, also have the benefit of protecting private medical and financial information that users might be perusing.
