Children's Access to Electronic Information Networks Peoria Public Library supports the right of all library users to access information and will not deny access to electronic information networks based solely on age. The library recognizes that electronic information networks such as the Internet may contain material that is inappropriate for children. Parents are expected to monitor and supervise their children's use of the Internet. Library staff are unable to monitor children's use. Parents are encouraged to discuss with their children issues of appropriate use and electronic information network safety.
Advisory materials concerning appropriate use and sites are available.
A copy of A Child's Rules for Online Safety is appended to this policy. If patrons have difficulty in using the Internet, Library staff can refer them to sources of help. Because of scheduling and other demands on staff time, internet-trained staff may not always be available. A more experienced computer user should accompany persons who are not able to use the computer unaided. Library patrons are required to use electronic information networks such as the Internet within guidelines of the User Agreement.
