New Jersey: Paterson Library Board Votes to Allow Banning Patrons From Playing Violent Video Games

From the National Coalition Against Censorship:

On Friday the National Coalition Against Censorship sent a letter to the Paterson Free Public Library in Paterson, N.J., criticizing a new policy banning the playing of certain video games on library computers. The policy was enacted by the library board after staff members petitioned to have an official rule granting them discretion over computer use .
The Center for Democracy and Technology, the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, the Association of American Publishers and The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund also signed the letter.

Note: ALA is a member of NCAC but did not sign this specific letter.
