| In order to comply with
the CIPA Act, in addition to the Easton Area
Public Library Computer Use Policy, children and
their guardians must agree to the following: |
| |
| To meet the
informational and educational needs of our young
patrons, Easton Area Public Library offers
computers for word processing, research,games
and activities, and email. The computers are
equipped with filtering software to guard
against objectionable sites. It is important,
however, for guardians to understand that no
blocking software is foolproof and filtering can
prevent some programs from being used. |
| |
Computers in the Youth
Services Department are available to anyone who
holds a valid Youth Services EAPL library card.
Those over the age of 18 are required to use the
computers in the Adult computer area unless
caring for a child under 13.
Preschoolers (those under 5 years of age) may
use a parent/guardian’s card under direct card
owner supervision. |
| |
| In addition, adults
accompanied by children are permitted to use the
Adult computer in the Youth Services department
while they monitor their children. All Computer
& Laptop Use Policy rules must be followed by
adults using these computers, and in addition
may not allow a child to use the Adult computer. |
| |
|
Caregivers/parents/guardians are responsible for
monitoring the technology usage of all children
through the age of 13 in their care. The Library
will not deny access to technology to any child;
this is the responsibility of the caregiver. |
| |
| Parents/Guardians
assume responsibility for their children's
internet use through the Library's connection. |
| |
| Only the person whose
card was used to make the reservation may use
the computer. |
| |
| Facebook, lnstagram,
TikTok, and other social media platforms are not
permitted. |
| |
| Any chatting on the
internet violates the CIPA Act and is not
allowed. |
| |
| There are computers
designated for adults with children that require
supervision in the Youth Services room. These
adults must follow the Youth Services Computer
and Laptop Policy. |
