Internet Acceptable Use Policy
I acknowledge that I am subject to, and agree to abide by all laws and regulations of the state of Kansas
and the federal government that are applicable to Internet usage. Disseminating and exhibiting obscene
material is a crime in the state of Kansas (K.S.A. 21-4301 as amended). Possession of a computergenerated image that contains or incorporates sexual exploitation of a child is a crime in the state of
Kansas (K.S.A. 21-3516 as amended). Copyrighted material may not be copied without permission of the
copyright holder unless the proposed use falls within the definition of Fair Use (United States Code, Title
17, Section 107).
Internet computers are filtered, in accordance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and the
Neighborhood Children’s Internet Protection Act (NCIPA). Technology protection measures such as
filters are not completely reliable. However, the Library cannot control the information
available over the Internet and is not responsible for its content. Some sources provide
information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or dated; some sources may be offensive,
disturbing, and/or illegal. As with printed information, users are encouraged to evaluate the
validity of information found electronically.
Anyone using the computers for illegal purposes, or violating library policy, will be asked to leave the
library immediately. Any subsequent violations of this policy may result in loss of computer privileges.
Illegal acts involving use of the Internet at the library may be subject to prosecution by local, state, or
federal law enforcement authorities. No information regarding use of the Internet will be disclosed
except pursuant to a court order or subpoena authorized under federal, state, or local law.
Users are prohibited from accessing web pages or sites that contain materials that are defined in Kansas
statutes as harmful to minors or obscene; disclosing, using or disseminating personal information that
could compromise or threaten the safety and security of minors; damaging equipment, software, or
data belonging to the library; copying copyrighted material; attempting to modify or gain access to files,
passwords, or data belonging to others; seeking unauthorized access to any computer system; and
damaging or altering software components of any network or database.
The Library assumes no responsibility for any loss, theft or damage to data, personal equipment or
software, from viruses that may infect portable media storage devices or for any damage or injury
arising from invasion of privacy. All copies are 25 cents per page and may be picked up at the desk.
