You and the Internet

The Harrison Library provides access to the Internet to respond to the informational and educational needs of library users. The Internet is a vast unregulated network. It provides access to ideas, information and images beyond the confines of the Youth Services department Selection Policy. Because of this access and because Internet sites change frequently, the library cannot protect users from information and images, which might be objectionable to some users.

Please Remember!

  • These are public computers.  If you type in information about yourself, other computer users will be able to see it.

  • It is never safe to talk to strangers, whether over the internet or in person.

  • When you use computers in the Park Branch chatting and e-mail are not allowed.  (You can use computers with fewer restrictions at the Main Library for $1.00 per hour per day)

 

What Can I Do to Be Net-Safe?  

  • Just as you stay away from strangers on the street, be careful about strangers on the Internet.
     

  • If anyone uses nasty language or mentions things that make you uncomfortable, don't respond and log off.
     

  • Never give your real last name, address, or telephone number to anyone; if someone asks for this information (or for your password) , don't respond. Log off and tell a trusted adult.
     

  • Never agree to meet with someone you've talked with on the Internet without asking permission from your parents first.
     

  • There are places on the NET which are for adults only; if you find yourself in an "adults-only" place, or anywhere you think you shouldn't be, leave! There are plenty of good "kid places" on the net.
