Clark County Public Library Acceptable Use Policy for
Internet Workstations

 Identification and Self-Check Internet Station

• You must have a Clark County Public Library card, valid state ID or passport in order to use an Internet workstation.

• Each user must sign in with her or her own library card. Minors may not sign in with a parent or guardian’s card unless the parent or guardian is with the minor and will monitor the minor’s complete session at the workstation. Anyone found to be using another individual’s card will have all access to computing workstation blocked for 1 year; this misuse of another individual’s card is considered identity theft and may be reported to law enforcement.

• Adult users with state ID, driver’s license, or passport must request a guest ID pass at the circulation desk.

• Minor users under the age of 16 must present a valid library card.

• Minor users aged 16 and 17 may access a computer workstation with a valid driver’s permit, license, state ID card, or other state or federal ID. 

 
Blocked Cards: Any user with a blocked card or more than $5 in fines will not be able to use a workstation.

 
Engaging in the following PROHIBITED activities will result in loss of Internet privileges for 1 year or longer.

• Breaking local, state, federal, or international law.
• Accessing graphic descriptions or images of a criminal, violent, or sexual nature.
• Attempting to change or damage library equipment or software.

 
Workstation Partners: The user checking out a workstation takes responsibility for all workstation partners.

 
Internet Session Length

•  All users will be allowed one 60-minute session per day.  Two renewals are allowed if no one is waiting.

• When workstations are full, users may reserve the next available computer.
• Sessions will time out automatically after 60 minutes when others are waiting.  

Minor Access

Internet access is not filtered. Adults and minors have equal access to workstations. Parents and legal guardians may request a block on unsupervised internet use for any minor in their care at any time, and may remove such blocks at will. Library staff cannot serve in place of the parent or guardian: parents are encouraged to supervise workstation sessions of any minor that may not fully understand this policy, or whom the parent feels may disregard the policy.
