Access to the Internet, a global network of public and private computers, increases availability of resources and provides access to information beyond materials in the Pioneerland Library System.
All Pioneerland Library System libraries provide at least one computer with unrestricted access to the Internet. Some Pioneerland Library System libraries provide both restricted and unrestricted computer access to the Internet. The provision of access does not imply sponsorship or endorsement of Internet sites or of activities in violation of state or federal laws.* Pioneerland Library System assumes no responsibility for direct or indirect results of access to the Internet through our system. Parents and guardians are responsible for their child’s use of the Internet.
The Pioneerland Library System does not guarantee the accuracy of information available on the network. It is the responsibility of the user to evaluate information found on the Internet. Since electronic information is constantly changing and expanding, sources on the Internet may not provide complete or current information.
