Central Washington's library system will head back to federal court Oct. 25 to further argue its filtering of public internet access.
The hearing in Richland before U.S. District Court Judge Edward F. Shea will consider motions left dangling after the Washington Supreme Court last year upheld the North Central Regional Library district practice of narrowly filtering internet pages related to pornography and gambling.
The state court's 6-3 decision sided with the NCRL and its 28 branch libraries in a 2006 lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, representing three North Central Washington residents -- Sarah Bradburn of Republic, Pearl Cherrington of Twisp and Charles Heinlen of Okanogan -- and the Second Amendment Foundation. That gun rights lobbying group managed a magazine website, womenandguns.com, that was blocked by the library's filters.
