However, library staff cannot provide in-depth training concerning Internet computer jargon or personal computer use. The Internet is an unregulated medium. The Hesston Public Library does not monitor and has no control over the information accessed through the Internet, and cannot be held responsible for its content. All Internet resources accessible through the library are provided equally to all library users. The Internet workstation is available during library hours to all patrons on a first come first serve basis.
Users are limited to one hour of use per person per day.
To protect the library from liability for illegal use of the Internet, each user must sign an Internet use agreement, then register at the circulation desk at each subsequent session. Patrons under the age of 14 must have a parent or guardian seated with them while using the Internet workstation. You may send e-mail from the Internet workstation, but library staff must assist you. Replies to the library e-mail address are discouraged. In order to prevent computer viruses that are common on public computers you may not use your own software programs or diskettes on the Internet workstation.
