A librarian who claims she was fired from her job for reporting a child porn-viewing patron to police is receiving vocal support from the local community.Brenda Biesterfeld, a single mother of two, was fired from her job at the Tulare County Library in Lindsay, California, on March 6-two days after she told police that 39-year-old Donny Chrisler had been viewing child porn on library computers. Chrisler was arrested, and police later found on his home computer thousands of explicit images involving children. Recently, more than 100 people turned out on the lawn of the library in a prayer vigil for Biesterfeld and also for the safety of local children. Karen Stoffers, a minister at the First United Methodist Church, helped organize the rally. During an interview on Fresno Fox TV affiliate KMPH, Stoffers spoke of her admiration for Biesterfeld. "I've been in the library many times and interfaced with Brenda," said Stoffers. "She's always been professional, warm, friendly." Susette Lang attended the rally and says Biesterfeld should be commended for what she did. "I like this community, and she did the right thing," said Lang. Biesterfeld told KMPH she is hopeful her case can prompt officials to revamp laws to help municipal workers better protect children. "And if I become a part of that ... I'll be proud," she said. The fired librarian is being represented by Liberty Counsel, which is asking county officials to give her back her job. County officials say Biesterfeld was fired for not following library policy.http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=72615
