Library Blocking Websites

Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) has posted a report that the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed suit against the Salem Public Library in eastern Missouri for unconstitutionally blocking religious websites.  This particular library has deemed it necessary to block Native American and Wicca websites, that give information about both religions, based on being “occult” or  “criminal”.  Read the article at CBLDF’s website linked below or the full notice at ACLU’s website linked below:

New Biblical Game

ICv2’s site, linked below, has announced a new game based on Biblical epics.  The game, Crossroads, is to have elements of a board game and of a Collectible Card Game.  Librarians might mention this to their gamers that also belong to this faith and also their local church community, if they have a strong youth group.  It is to have a Spring 2011 release.
