It was a quiet Tuesday afternoon at the Madison Library when workers noticed something wasn't right. "Two of the staff saw what was going on and immediately called the police," said library director Judy Dewey.
Sitting in the corner, at a computer, was 33-year-old Daniel Young looking at pornographic websites and masturbating. The library has a strict policy against pornography. Every computer has filters and when patrons log on, they agree to stay away from sexually explicit material.
"The other part of the policy is to not disable any software or change any settings on the computer," said Dewey. That's most likely how Young accessed the porn - by disabling the filters. It's something other people have done too. "We do encounter them like every other community. This isn't the first one at the library," said Rexburg Police Capt. Randy Lewis. Young was removed from the library, cited, and released. He won't be returning any time soon because he's been banned from ever coming back.

My guess is that will also earn you the lifetime ban, but those in charge will likely need to ammend the policy after this latest incident. Here's more from KIDK:
