to find it strange the library can't update me on the man i saw looking at explicit material

[alohahaha]

Our local library layout means you walk through the public computer access area to get to the children's section.

Leaving the library this afternoon with my two DC, I saw a man on a computer looking at explicitly sexual pictures of women. DC didn't seem to notice. The computer was right next to the main walkway through the computer area and the screen was visible from a good distance away. The screen was on a pedestal which you stood next to to use. I got a bit of a shock, and went to a librarian and told her what I'd seen. I didn't hang around as we were leaving and were with friends (they didn't see the screen).

I phoned them later to ask what the outcome of the situation was and they said they can't give me any information.

AIBU to find that strange?

Not being unreasonable-just natural curiosity I think. I would ask about their internet security, though, the next time I was in the library.
FWIW I thought using the phrase "Trunky etc" was rude & sarcastic, but others have enjoyed it. We're all different

'Trunky wants a bun' is magnificently appropriate and I am going to steal it for future use.
It's not just that elephants (allegedly) like buns, it's the combination of the elephant's long nose and the elephant's trumpeting loudly for a reward.

My mother is Trunky. Thank you for that.

OP YABU, I'm sure the staff handled it.

Filters are more or less useless. They're ridiculously easy to dodge if one wishes to do so. The library might have quite strong filters, but they can still be sidestepped.

I get why you would like to know what happened, but it is now a matter for the library and/or police to follow up on so no longer involves you. Quite shocking though to see that sort of thing when you don't expect it, but as others have pointed out, it may have been an email or something 'innocent' that managed to bypass the filters somehow.

However, to suggest you must have "a pretty empty life" and other OTT remarks is bitchy and harsh and just not necessary.

The 'Trunky' comment too - obv SO funny to those types. What a 'sophisticated' sense of humour.

The OP accepted she was unreasonable on Fri 30-Aug-13 00:15:32

YABVU stop interferring. if someone wants to look at a bit of adult porn so be it! Its none of your business just because you dont like it

Arf at trunky wants a bun.

But op didn't need to know the outcome and was just being over involved. As she graciously admitted

Oh of course, yes, lets look at adult porn in a public library, in full view of anyone who happens to be passing. Like children. How lovely for them.

FFS, what a completely and utterly ridiculous comment.
