    Internet Access Policy and Security

The library district filters Internet activity in accordance to our Internet Access Policy and the Childerens Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Though the library attempts to filter inappropriate material, some sites may come through that are deemed unsuitable. It is also likely that sites that are considered appropriate for all will be blocked by the filter. In these situations, please request a Citizen's Request for Change to Internet Access form to request the website in question to be blocked or unblocked. It is the responsibility of the wireless user to provide adequate security and anti-virus protection for their laptop.
