Each Library provides public Internet access to ensure equal access to information and resources to meet the educational and recreational needs of the community.
The Internet provides access to many resources for different age levels and reflects various points of view. Customers should know that not all Internet sources give accurate, complete, age appropriate, or current information. Staff will provide assistance, however assistance may be limited by time, knowledge and type of question.
All public access computers, the Internet and the other electronic resources provided by each Library are available equally to all Library Patrons. Access will be made available on a first come, first served appointment basis. Only parents or guardians may restrict the access of their own children to these resources.
The Library is not responsible for damage to a Patron’s personal information or storage devices, any loss of data, damage or liability that may occur from customer’s use of the Libraries computers.
Any illegal use of the Internet is prohibited and may constitute a criminal offense for which the customer will bear sole responsibility. We are not responsible for any customer misuse of copyrighted materials or violation of software licensing agreements.
Patrons using the computers are financially responsible for any harm done to the computers. Adults are financially responsible for any harm done to the computers by themselves and by their children under the age of 18. Children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult when using the computers.
