The Bloomfield Township Public Library is your community resource for a world of information and knowledge. To this end, all patrons will have enhanced accessibility to ideas and information through the Bloomfield
Township Public Library's connection to the Internet in the library and through dial-in modems.
A global network of computers, the Internet provides access to a wide variety of educational, recreational, and reference resources, many of which are not available in print, but there is no central control over its
content or users. The Bloomfield Township Public Library does not monitor and exerts no control over the information accessed through the Internet and cannot be held responsible for the content of the Internet. The
Internet and its resources may contain controversial or offensive material. The Bloomfield Township Public Library does not restrict access or protect persons from information found individually offensive, except as
provided by law. Library patrons use the Internet at their own discretion and are expected to abide by the Bloomfield Township Public Library's Code of Conduct. As with all library resources, parents and
guardians of minor children, not the Bloomfield Township Public Library, are responsible for their children's use of and exposure to the Internet through the library's connection. Filtered Internet access is
available at the library. However, filters are unsuccessful in limiting access to all web sites that some individuals may find objectionable. Due to the nature of the Internet, despite its efforts, the library
cannot ensure the availability, accuracy, accessibility, or even appropriateness, of electronic resources. The library reserves the right to set limitations on the use of electronic resources.
Users of the library's Internet access must observe copyright and communication laws and others' right to privacy. Illegal activities or any other activities intended to disrupt computer or network services or
equipment are prohibited. Individuals are prohibited from using library resources for illegal purposes as may be defined by applicable local, state, or federal law and may be subject to prosecution for
violation.
