Computer Use Rules

 

 

 

 

You must sign up with your own library card or positive identification before using a computer. Library staff will assign a computer for your use.

Use of the Express PC is limited to 10 minutes.

Internet computers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a 30-minute time limit when others are waiting. Additional time is not guaranteed and will only be allowed if there is an Internet computer not currently in use.

Computer users must terminate their session when requested to do so by a staff member.

Use of word processors may be limited to 2 hours. A time slot may be reserved up to one day in advance. Reservations will only be held for 10 minutes beyond the appointed time.

Only two people may use the computer at a time. In some cases, such as a parent or guardian with children, it may be necessary for more than two people to work/sit together. Please ask library staff for an exception.

Printing:  Black & white prints cost ten cents (10¢) each. Color prints cost fifty cents (50¢) each and must be picked up at the Sign-In Desk.

Anything downloaded to the computer’s hard drive is not permanently saved. To save your files, download to your own external storage device. (CD/DVD, USB Memory Key, etc.).

Accessing sites that can be considered obscene by local community standards, harmful to minors, include child pornography or are illegal is not allowed. Patrons repeatedly visiting such sites will be barred from using the library computers for 6 months.

Headphones must be used when sound is enabled.

No modifications or attempts to modify the computer’s hardware, software or network are allowed.

Use of the computer indicates acceptance of library rules and policy. Violation of policy will terminate your current session and may result in denial of access for 6 months.

These rules are in addition to the Library’s
Internet Use Policy.

Final appeals to the enforcement of these rules or to the rules themselves can be made to the Board of Trustees.  Appeals must be made in writing one week prior to the Board’s scheduled meetings and should be sent in care of the Library Director.
