INTERNET USE POLICY
Morrisville Public Library
provides public access to the Internet in keeping with its role in
providing equal access to information and resources to meet the
educational and recreational needs of the community.
The library has no control over the information on the Internet and
cannot be held responsible for its content. As is the case with other
materials in the library's collections, any restrictions of a child's
access to the Internet is the responsibility of the parent or legal
guardian.
Adopted 5-16-96
The library reserves the right to set time limits or ask users to limit
their time on the computer. The library staff reserves the right to
adjust computer time and scheduling as necessary.
Addendum adopted 9-20-2000
Because we have a limited number of library computers available,
patrons who need to use them for school work or research will have
precedence over those who are using them for recreational activities.
Patrons must ask permission to print or to have paper reloaded into the
printer, and may not reboot or turn off library computers. Patrons who
turn off or reboot a library computer may have their computer
privileges suspended.
Patrons must pay for any additional pages printed after the first two.
Addendum adopted 2-12-2002
The ONLY plugin allowed for the computers is the library-owned
headphones. On one clearly marked computer, patrons are allowed
to plug in their MP3 player to download audio books from Mid
York’s website. NO other materials can be downloaded to MP3
players from that computer.
Internet access to staff computers is filtered per CIPA regulations.
Adopted October 16, 2007 Amended: June 16, 2009
Internet Pornography Policy
Since we are such a small library and have a large percentage of
patrons who are children under eighteen (18) years old, the Board of
Trustees has made the decision that our public-use computers cannot be
used to view pornographic sites.
Patrons who violate this policy face the possibility of loss of
computer privileges and/or being banned from the Library. If a
child pornography website is involved, law enforcement agencies will be
notified.
As with other Library policies, a patron will first be given a verbal
warning. A second violation will be grounds for loss of computer
privileges for thirty (30) days. Subsequent incidents may result
in the patron being banned from the Library for a period of three
months. These periods could be extended, depending on
circumstances.
Adopted May 15, 2007
