By clicking "Accept" below, you agree to the following terms of usage:

The Lisle Library’s staff may provide assistance to patrons in the use of electronic information networks as time and staff knowledge permits.  But Library staff cannot provide in-depth training concerning Internet computer jargon or usage, outside of Library provided computer classes.

Lisle Library assumes no responsibility for any loss or damage to data, directly or indirectly arising from the use of Library computers.  The Library assumes no liability for any loss or damage due to invasion of privacy in any Internet computer accounts, programs, or files.  The Library does not guarantee that the system will function error-free or uninterrupted.

LIBRARY PATRONS’ RIGHTS

                Library patrons have the right to confidentiality and privacy in the use of electronic information networks to the extent possible, given certain constraints such as proximity of other patrons and staff in a public access setting.

                Library patrons have the right to equitable access to electronic information networks.

                Library patrons have the right to access and read all Library service policies and discuss questions with appropriate Library staff.

The Lisle Library District will work with other libraries in the Illinois Library and Information Network to preserve and protect these rights, subject to limitations imposed by licensing and payment agreements with database providers.

CHILDREN’S ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC INFORMATION NETWORKS

The Lisle Library District supports the right of all Library users to access information and will not deny access to electronic information networks based on age.  The Library recognizes that electronic information networks such as the Internet may contain material that is inappropriate for children. 

Parents/guardians are expected to monitor and supervise their children’s use of the Internet.  Parents/guardians, not the Library or its staff, are responsible for the Internet information selected and/or accessed by their children.  Parents/guardians may restrict their children - and only their children - from access to Internet resources available through the Library.
