Library Disclaimer
Patrons connecting to our wireless network should be aware of the fact
that all computers are susceptible to viruses and technical problems.
While the library will make every effort to provide a safe wireless
network where patrons can connect to the internet, it is the patron’s
responsibility to ensure that their computer is equipped with all of
the necessary software to protect it. All patrons using the network
must have current anti-virusand firewall software already installed
on their computers before connecting to our network. The library is
not responsible for lack of knowledge regarding computer-safe practices
(i.e. the risks of downloading music and opening attachments from unknown
parties).
The library is not responsible for the following:
Any damage done to personal computers (hardware or software).
Lost or corrupted data due to electrical surges or malfunctions.
Situational lack of privacy
Lost or stolen property and/or information (including any computer-related
equipment)
While on library premises, patrons are responsible for their computer
as well as the information itself, at all times.
Wireless Access
Access to the wireless network is available during business hours from
any area inside the library. The library is not responsible for the
strength of the wireless signal; trying to access the wireless connection
from another location inside the library, or waiting to see if the
signal improves over time is recommended for those experiencing difficulty
getting connected.
The library does not guarantee that every personal computer will function
on our wireless internet connection. The library staff will not be
available to provide assistance with any wireless internet access difficulties
or troubleshooting. Patrons experiencing technical difficulties are
encouraged to consult the owner’s manual, which should have accompanied
their PC at the time of purchase, or to contact the company that manufactured
it.
Persons without the equipment necessary for accessing the wireless
network will be unable to connect to the internet. The library will
not provide any such equipment either for purchase or loan.
Research and the Internet
It is the library’s goal to provide a safe and comfortable environment
in which library users can pursue their interests. Patrons using the
internet inside the library are not permitted to display any explicit
information or material. This includes: racist, obscene, threatening,
graphic and/or sexually explicit material; those found viewing such
inappropriate content will have their wireless access suspended.
The library is not responsible for those under 18 years old who use
the wireless internet access connection at the library to view material
deemed inappropriate by parents or guardians.
