In a decision that may lead some libraries to adopt tighter Internet filtering policies, the Supreme Court of Washington agreed 6-3 that a public library can filter Internet access for all patrons without disabling the filter on request of an adult library patron to allow access to constitutionally protected material.rnIt is the first legal body to make such a ruling. The court essentially agreed that the option to filter is a collection development decision rather than one relating to the removal of content acquired by the library and that it's acceptable for the library to unblock sites on a case-by-case basis, taking more than a day to do so.
