I got this e-mail from Susan Kent:
The recent article in “City Limit”s about Internet access in public
libraries mischaracterized the policies of The New York Public Library.
Internet usage is available equally to everyone, including homeless
individuals who don’t have a library card or permanent address. Anyone
without a library card may ask for a “guest pass” which will provide access
to the Internet under the same terms as library card holders.

we stand corrected
Thank you for the correction. Glad to hear it.
