    Access by Children

    • Children are very welcome to use the Internet. Using the internet is a fun way to learn and discover new interests. Parents and guardians are responsible for their children’s use of the Internet and therefore must sign the computer usage permission policy. Parents and guardians should be aware of the sites their children are using. While filtering software is in place to minimise the risk of children accessing inappropriate websites, it may not always block unsuitable material. Any concerns should be brought to the attention of library staff.

    • Users must abide by the reservation procedures which are in place in each library.

    • Please log out of your email/social network account before finishing.

    • Any person involved in unauthorised use and who does not abide by the terms of reference for internet use will have their access to all library services withdrawn.
