Internet Access Policy
Internet users are required to have valid library cards. Tourist cards are provided for visitors who wish to use the Internet. Users who are 8 through 17 years of age must have a "Parental Authorization for Internet Use" agreement filled out and signed by parent. These are kept on file at the library. Filters cannot completely remove all potentially objectionable material found on the Internet. Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to guide their children's use of the Internet. As with other library materials, library staff does not monitor or limit what any user views or reads over the Internet.

Guidelines for Internet Use

  1. To provide equal opportunity for all residents to access the Internet, the library limits the total daily use by each person to a maximum of one hour a day.
  2. Library service desks schedule the use of Internet stations. Users must sign up in advance for a 60-minute period.
  3. Printouts cost 10¢ per page. Please pay at the desk.
  4. Downloading to floppy diskettes is permitted. Disks can be purchased for $1. The library assumes no responsibility for damage to users' computer equipment or data files resulting from downloads from the Internet.
  5. Library users are responsible for any consequences of copyright infringement.
  6. If the nature of sites being viewed on the Internet disturbs other library users, the viewer may be asked to cease or be moved to another workstation.
  7. Failure to comply with these rules will result in revocation of Internet station use privileges.
Thank you for your cooperation.
