Glocester Libraries Policy for Internet and World Wide Web Access
- The Glocester Libraries Policy for Internet and World Wide Web Access conforms to the Internet Safety Policy requirements of the Neighborhood Children's Internet Protection Act (NCIPA) under the current
Federal Communications Commission ruling.
- The Glocester Manton Library and the Harmony Library offer Internet and World Wide Web access to all patrons, adults and minors, as part of their missions to expand their informational resources. The Libraries
are unable to review, monitor and control the content found on the Internet. The Libraries strongly urge
users to never rely solely on information found on the Internet, as this information is not always accurate,
complete, or legal. In addition, all users must comply with all federal and State laws governing computing resources. These include, for example, laws of tampering and hacking,privacy, obscenity, and child
pornography.
- Some Internet sites may contain language, sexually graphic images, or material considered "inappropriate"
to minors. Parents and guardians of children under the age of 18 are responsible for their children's use of
the Internet. The libraries assume no liability. The libraries' staffs reserve the right to terminate the user's
access session when the user has failed to comply with this policy or any other library policy. Local police will be contacted for unlawful activities.
Safety Guidelines for Minors and Adults
- Users must comply with federal and state laws and the Library's rules when using computing resources.
- Users, especially minors, should not disclose personal information on the Internet.
Glocester Libraries Rules
- All Internet users must register at the circulation desk and possess a valid OSL card.
- Computer use is available on a first-come, first serve basis.
