Internet Use Policy

Dulany Memorial Library offers public access to the Internet to develop collections, resources, and services that meet the cultural, informational, recreational, and educational needs of our community. While we do have filtering systems in place, this library does not monitor and cannot be held responsible for content searched. The Internet is a world-wide community with a highly diverse user population, and it is your responsibility to use this resource wisely. Internet resources accessible through the Library are provided equally to all library users. Parents or guardians, not the library or its staff, are responsible for the Internet information selected and/or accessed by their children. A parent or guardian must be with a child under the age of 18 if they prefer to monitor the minor's access to content.

Although the library staff will be glad to assist you in accessing the Internet, they can not provide in-depth training concerning Internet computer jargon, search strategies or personal computer use. Because of library scheduling, Internet-trained staff may not always be available. If you need to use our Internet services, but will require assistance for more than 15 minutes of time, we encourage you to bring someone with you who would be able to assist, as staff availability may be limited. Likewise, if you require personal information to be entered online on your behalf, we encourage you to bring someone with you who can assist.
