Computer Usage Policies

Computer Usage

The Library offers public computers with access to the Internet, Microsoft Office, printing and scanning. In addition, the library also offers Wi-Fi and wireless printing, as well as wired internet connections for laptops.

Internet Usage

In keeping with the library's Collection Development Policy, the library has installed software on all computers that attempts to block retrieval of internet sites that could be considered pornographic. It is important to note that no software can completely block out all objectionable material and parents/legal guardians are encouraged to guide their children in exploring the internet while sharing with them the family's personal views about acceptable use of the internet.

Internet Policy Agreement

All users of the Internet are expected to use this library resource in a responsible and courteous manner and to follow all Internet-related rules, regulations, and procedures established for its use including, but not limited to, those of the Library.

• Patrons are responsible for any damage to library equipment.

Violators of this policy may be required to terminate their use of library equipment or immediately leave the building at the discretion of the "Person-In-Charge".

In keeping with the library's collection development policy, all computers use software that filters obscene and pornographic images; however, no software can completely block all objectionable material and parents/legal guardians are encouraged to guide their children in exploring the Internet while sharing with them the family's personal views about acceptable use of the Internet.
