All computer users will be required to have a library card in order to log on to the computers, except visitors to the community and temporary residents. Temporary access will be available for temporary usage. The use of someone else’s library card is not allowed and may result in denial of computer access for both parties for an appropriate period of time.

Noise levels at workstations must be kept to a minimum. Headphones may be brought into the Library by patrons or purchased from the Friends of the Library at the service desk. Reservations cannot be made in advance; usage is on a "first come, first served" basis only.

Unlawful activities will be dealt with in an appropriate manner.
Prohibited activities include:

e. unauthorized copying of copyright-protected materials;
