Internet Policy
The Internet has become a fundamental tool with vast access to information. It also is an unregulated medium that changes constantly. The Library does not endorse the viewpoints or vouch for the accuracy or authenticity to information accessed via the Internet. Each user must determine what information is appropriate for themselves.
The Library may organize the Internet workstations with pathways and selected sites to the Internet, but will not use blocking filtering software. Parents are encouraged to take an active role in their children's use of the Internet and discuss their expectations for their children's use of this information tool. Parents, and only parents, have the right and the responsibility to restrict the access of their children, and only their children, to library resources.
While affirming the user's right to confidentiality and privacy users are advised that because security is technically difficult to achieve, electronic communications and files could become public.
Use of the Library's workstations for the transmission, dissemination and/or duplication of information is regulated under various state and federal laws. The Library expects all users to comply with such laws and regulations.
The Library reserves the right to terminate an Internet session at any time for any reason.
