While I was gone on maternity leave, guest blogger Meghan Dewald wrote about the new wifi network at Burlington's Fletcher Free Library. The post drew a flurry of comments about the library's filtering software.
In case you missed it, Systems Librarian Robert Coleburn commented again this morning:
The library has decided to temporarily disable the content filter onits wireless network. It will remain disabled until I can figure outhow to configure it to be less obtrusive.
To put it simply, the filter was blocking too many legitimate sites.
Again, I appreciate the comments and feedback from the group.
Thanks, everybody, for commenting.

Since 2014, Seven Days has allowed readers to comment on all stories posted on our website. While we’ve appreciated the suggestions and insights, the time has come to shut them down — at least temporarily.
While we champion free speech, facts are a matter of life and death during the coronavirus pandemic, and right now Seven Days is prioritizing the production of responsible journalism over moderating online debates between readers.
To criticize, correct or praise our reporting, please send us a letter to the editor. Or send us a tip. We’ll check it out and report the results.
Online comments may return when we have better tech tools for managing them. Thanks for reading.
