The Cleveland Library offers its patrons free access to Pentium 4-based computers and high speed 18.0 U-verse Internet, which vastly expands its information base. Each machine will be loaded with at least Miscrosoft Windows XP Pro and Microsoft Office 2007 Pro. The library is also a free wireless hotspot for AT&T Internet.

A Cleveland Library card is required for computer use, including the Internet.

The time allowed is 30 minutes per session. An individual may have a maximum of 2 sessions or 1 hour per day, when no other users or staff are waiting for the computer.

Due to budget restraints, the library can no longer provide Internet filtering software.

Unacceptable uses of computer resources and services include:

• Use for any purposes that violate applicable federal, state, or local laws.
• Interfering with or disrupting other computer users, services, or equipment.
• Attempting to gain or gaining, unauthorized entry to other computing, information, or communications sources or devices.
• Malicious, threatening, harassing, obscene behavior or language.
• Obscene behavior includes public display of obscene materials on computer screens or in hard copy.
• Any use of Cleveland Library computer equipment or resources to connect to other computer resources or equipment must conform to the acceptable use policies governing those networks as well as our own.
• In offering Internet access, library staff cannot control access points that a library customer may reach. Parents of minor children must assume responsibility for their children’s use of the Internet at the Library or on any dial-up connections. Families and individuals must bear responsibility for the same guidance for use of the Internet as they would exercise with other types of information sources such as television, telephones, movies, radio and other types of media.
• Individuals should be aware that some materials accessible on the Internet may be illegal, defamatory, inaccurate, or potentially offensive to some people.
• Cleveland Library assumes no responsibility for any damages, direct or indirect, arising from use of Internet services.
