The Internet is an important and dynamic information resource. Cook Memorial Public Library does not have control over this resource, and it is not responsible for its content, availability, reliability, currency, accuracy or appropriateness of information accessed via its use. The Library recognizes that the Internet contains material that is inappropriate for children and that may be objectionable to some adults. The Library encourages parents to monitor and supervise their children s network use.
Staff is available to assist and instruct patrons on effective Internet use.
The principles of access and the general selection criteria apply to the withdrawal of materials. Materials may be withdrawn based on lack of use, poor condition, or age . Materials may also be withdrawn if they no longer serve a purpose in the Library's collection. Withdrawn materials may be donated to other institutions, offered on an equal basis to the public through the Friends of the Library Book Sales or discarded. The Library does not sell withdrawn materials directly to patrons.
