The Cornwall Public Library is dedicated to opening minds to the wonders and diversities of our community, our nation and our world. The Library Board recognizes the Internet as a resource tool which enhances access to information. It is for this reason public access to the Internet is provided at the Library. Access to the Internet is compatible with Cornwall Public Library Board's endorsement of the Canadian Library Association's Statement on Intellectual Freedom and the Ontario Library Association's Statement on the Intellectual Right of the Individual .
Internet access is available to all library users.
However, anyone wishing to access the Internet at the Library must first read and sign a User Agreement for Acceptable Use of the Public Access Internet Stations . Since the Internet is a global electronic network providing access to information stored on computers around the world it is not possible to control contents. Individuals using the Internet may find material that is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, not age appropriate, controversial or offensive to them. The Library cannot protect users against finding such materials. Parents must assume responsibility for their children's use of the Internet.
