The Great Debate

There was a very heated discussion at my house last night - a member of my family went to the local library and saw a lady using the computers for online gambling.  This family member was livid and felt that the library staff should not allow this.  I've never worked in a public library (only as a shelver) but felt that it is not the place of library staff to be nannys.  The family member felt that the computers should only be used "to find information".

I'm really interested to hear others' opinions and of anyone who has had to deal with such a situation.
