South Carolina's On-Again, Off-Again Filtering

    If they're having a lot of problems with dusty conditions in South Carolina libraries, then I support filters on the computers. It could help the fans and other components last longer.

    However, should we ban the Catcher in the Rye, Tropic of Cancer, or the Bible.
