More quotes by Judith Krug

Many libraries are digging in their heels and saying, "We are not going to add filtering mechanisms."

We want to provide as much information as we can, and say to our users: "It is all here. You make the choice."

I get very concerned when we start hearing people who want to convert this country into a safe place for children. I am adult. I want available what I need to see.

I have a real problem when people say, "Well I walked by and you should have seen what was on the computer screen." Well, don't look, sweetie. It's none of your business. Avert your eyes.

You should have access to ideas and information regardless of your age. If anyone is going to limit or guide a young person, it should be the parent or guardian — and only the parent or guardian.
