Internet Policy

Internet Policy

It is the belief of Krum Public Library that parents or legal guardians are responsible for their children's use of library resources. Parents should supervise their children's access to all library materials, including the internet.

Patrons over 16 must provide a picture ID with proof of age. Patrons under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent or adult to fill out an Acceptable Use Contract.

The Internet accesses a world of information. Library patrons use it at their own risk. The library personnel do not take responsibility for that you or your children access via the Internet. Filters have been installed on the machines, but library personnel realize users are sometimes able to circumvent these filtering programs. Krum Public Library does no guarantee you or your child protection from objectionable materials. Staff does not provide continual supervision, as they must continue to provide all library services.

Misuse of the Internet access computers will result in permanent loss of your computer privileges.

Patrons bear the liability of copyright infringement when downloading copyrighted material from the Internet.

Warning: Although we use a virus checker on the Internet access computer, this will not completely protect you from the chance of getting a virus and, therefore transferring it to other computers you use the downloaded data on. Krum Public Library is not responsible for damage to a patron's computer, or for any loss of data, damage or liability that may occur from the patron use of the library's computers or Internet service.

It is the user's responsibility to use the Internet legally, ethically and cooperatively.

Krum Public Library reserves the right to update/edit this policy as needed.
