-
The Library makes the Internet accessible in
accordance with its mission of providing access to information and
resources to meet the needs of its constituency.
-
The Library is CIPA compliant and has blocking
software on all Internet terminals. The blocking software, or filter, is
not a perfect system and due to its technological limitations may allow
sites that could be harmful to minors and may block access to
constitutionally protected material on the Internet. The Library may
allow access to blocked sites for adult patrons 18 and over upon request.
Information on the Internet may be reliable and current, or it may be
inaccurate, out-of-date, or unavailable. The Internet contains material
that is controversial and inappropriate for children. Library users
access the Internet at their own discretion.
-
Parents/legal guardians assume responsibility for
anything their children may access on the Internet. The Library is not responsible if children violate
Library and parental rules. The Library's computers are not under
constant employee supervision.

for any purpose that violates federal, state or local laws is prohibited,
