"Porn and Patrons in the Library: What to Do About a Vexing Issue"
Part of the Library 2.0 Series with Dr. Steve Albrecht

OVERVIEW

Male patrons watching pornographic videos or looking at photos--it may be a small problem in your library or it may be a big problem, but either way, it’s a concern that needs addressing. Let’s talk about how you can address it, safely, discreetly, and legally.

This 60-minute training webinar is presented by Library 2.0 and hosted by ALA author and library service, safety, and security expert, Dr. Steve Albrecht.


LEARNING AGENDA: 

  • Why do men watch porn in the library? (A serious inquiry.)
  • To filter or not to filter, that is the question.
  • Porn on the patrons’ devices versus ours?
  • Handling patron complaints.
  • Keeping minors away from porn exposures.
  • How can our technology help us?
  • The real problem of escalating sexual behavior for library porn watchers.
  • Best practices for safe staff interventions.
  • When does porn watching become a police issue?
  • Help from your local ICAC task force.
