Almost everyone holds the position that we should keep young kids away from porn - that's not much of a position to hold. She's just reaching out to an american culture confused by school shootings and finger pointing. It's akin to saying 'I think murder is wrong' - everyone agrees, but it's a pointless position to run with.
The problem with her solution is that almost every system out there, if not _every_ system out there, doesn't block porn - it blocks 'content harmful to minors', which includes any educational sex sites, most fringe religions, and any site the filtering company has a vendetta against. Libraries are supposed to be where you can learn about anything and everything, not where you can just learn about happy fuzzy Christian values.
