The Pickerington Public Library (PPL) provides Internet connectivity and computer equipment in support of its mission and vision. The Library maintains the network in order to provide immediate access to information for the educational, enjoyment, and professional and personal development purposes and provides free access to all individuals/groups in the community.

The Internet, as an information resource, enables the Library to provide information beyond the confines of its own collection. While it offers access to a wealth of material that is personally, professionally and culturally enriching, the Internet also enables access to some material that may be offensive, disturbing,
illegal, obscene, and/or inaccurate.

The Pickerington Public Library does not assume liability for the reliability of the local network, the Internet, or for the accuracy and/or quality of content found therein.

Library customers who access the Internet at the Library are responsible for scrutinizing its contents for reliability. The Pickerington Public Library is not responsible for the content of websites accessed by Library users, nor is it responsible for the materials viewed by users on or from the Internet.

In using the Library’s computers, users agree to this policy and its terms.
