Giddings Public Library and Cultural Center

Use of a library computer constitutes acceptance of the library’s computer-use policy. The library’s computer lab may be used by adults with a valid library membership or valid government-issued photo I.D., and by young adults age 13-17 with a valid library membership. The computer lab is considered a quiet room. Patrons who use the computer lab agree to maintain a quiet working atmosphere. 

Children younger than 13 may not enter the computer lab. Children younger than 13 may use a non-lab library computer under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. A parent or legal guardian must directly supervise the computer use of a child younger than 13. 

Regardless of age, patrons who use a library computer agree to abide by the following policy: 

1. A valid government-issued photo identification or valid library card will be presented upon each usage.

2. Computer users must have a working knowledge of computers and the Internet.

3. Users will take responsibility for their own privacy protection, logging out of all accounts and clearing all passwords and personal information.

4. Users agree to pay for all printing.

5. Users agree to use only the computer assigned to them by a library staff member.

6. No malware or viruses will be downloaded.

7. Users will not save or install anything on library computers.

8. Patrons may not access sexually explicit material on a library computer.

9. All federal, state, and local laws and regulations will be followed.

10. Users agree to pay for any damage associated with computer use.

11. Computer use must end 15 minutes prior to the library's closing.
