You may also inquire at either the Children's or Adult Information Desks for further information on children and the Internet. Due to the limited resources available for provision of public access to the Internet, the Library may set limits, for example, on use of large files of still or moving images or sound, or on downloading files in any medium. The Library also reserves the right to limit the amount of time an individual user can devote to a single session. To allow equal access to all, staff may request users to relinquish the computer if others are waiting. The Library's staff will assist patrons with Internet use as time permits.
Staff are also available to help patrons locate books, periodicals, and videos about the Internet.
Internet Functions Supported The Library does not directly provide electronic mail or access to news and discussion groups, in part because other resources on the Internet provide these services, as well as commercial vendors. Patrons may use the Library's Internet computer to access accounts obtained through these services as long as they do not require any alteration of the computer's resources or files. Public Users' Security Users should be aware that the Internet is not a secure medium and that third parties may be able to obtain information regarding users' activities. However, the County of Henrico Public Library will not release information on the use of specific Internet resources by members of the public except as required by law or necessary for the proper operation of the Library. The Library reserves the right to take appropriate action to insure compliance with this policy.
