Internet
Policy
It is the mission of the Jacob Edwards
Library to provide access to learning materials in a variety
of formats for the community. The library attempts to provide
a safe environment for all who use the library. In
fulfillment of its mission, the library provides access to the
Internet for adults and children in separate locations within
the library.
The Internet allows users to connect to networks of resources
outside the library. The library does not monitor and has no
control over the information access through the internet.
Information on the Internet may be reliable and current or it
may be inaccurate, out-of-date, or unavailable at times.
Adults and young adults over the age of 13 may use the
internet computers on the main level of the library. Use of
the computers is restricted to a span of two hours per
individual per day (exceptions may be permitted by library
staff in times of low demand of computers by patrons). Patrons
access the Internet at their own discretion; the Jacob Edwards
Library cannot be held responsible for the content of the
Internet.
Children ages twelve and younger may use the computers in the
Children’s Room. Library staff are available to assist
children’s use and have selected websites and databases
especially for use by children. The library staff strives to
create a safe environment, but it is the responsibility of
parents or assigned caregivers to supervise their children.
Parents are strongly urged to work with their children to
develop rules for the use of the library and the Internet.
Parental permission is required for a child to use other
library computers.
