• Patrons who violate the computer use policy will be asked to exit the website immediately and in the case of repeated abuse, may be asked to leave the library. Patrons who continue to violate this policy will lose their library and/or library computer use privileges.

• The Library receives Federal eRate Funding for Internet Services and is required to be CIPA compliant.
• Parents are responsible for overseeing their children’s use of the library public access computers. 
• All of the library’s computers are filtered; however, such internet filters are not a perfect safeguard against objectionable materials. 
• The staff is not responsible and does not monitor the content of Internet sites visited by any patron, whether minors or adults. 
• The filtering is offsite so staff cannot unblock the filter.

All computer users are required to have a Friench Simpson Memorial Library card or a guest pass obtained at the circulation desk. 

A user must be in good standing with the library (i.e. no fines over posted limits or lost items) to be eligible to use the computers.

The library’s public access computers are available on a first come first serve basis with reservations available. 

The library uses an automated reservation system and all users must sign in at the circulation desk.

Users sign up for 60 minute blocks of computer time. A patron may request and be granted additional time on the computer if no reservations are pending.
