Internet Access Policy
The River Edge Free Public Library is pleased to offer Internet access to patrons as part of our mission to meet the recreational, informational, and educational needs of our public.
The Internet is a world-wide network of computer networks that contains material and opinions from a wide variety of sources. Since the Internet is an unregulated medium, it allows access to information that may be inaccurate, unreliable, illegal or considered to be disturbing or offensive. The library does not monitor and has no control over the information accessed through the Internet and cannot be held responsible for its content. As with other library materials, restriction of a child’s access to the Internet is the responsibility of the parent or guardian. The Internet, like all of the library’s information sources must be shared and used in a manner which respects the rights of others. Library personnel do not monitor or supervise Internet access except for the length of time, however Internet use for research purposes takes priority over all other uses. There is no time limit for use of the public Internet PCs. The library does reserve the right to intervene and terminate a session if the display of information and images is inappropriate for the library, or is creating a disturbance.
Wireless Internet access is available to those patrons who have an appropriately equipped electronic device. Please note that the staff is not available to help patrons with their electronic devices. There is no time limit for access to the wireless network. In addition, the Library offers laptops to patrons for in-house use.
Patrons who use either network agree to refrain from any illegal activity online. The library reserves the right to modify this policy at any time.
