Computer Use Policies
Users must have a valid Pinellas Public Library Cooperative (PPLC) Library Card, or a 'guest pass', either may be obtained at the Circulation Desk. Computer users must have enough knowledge of computers and software to work without staff assistance. Librarian support for computer problems is limited. Computers cannot be used longer than one and one-half (1.5) hours per day, with a 30 minute extension granted by a librarian, if necessary to complete a project. Please use any available computer terminal. Computers are shut down 15 minutes prior to close. Children under 9 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The Library reserves the right to interrupt your use of the computer because of disruptive or destructive behavior, weather conditions or complaints from other Library users (please see Code of Conduct). Your signature on the Library Card application, or your acceptance of a guest pass, indicates your knowledge and acceptance of these policies.
Unacceptable Behavior:
In accordance with Florida Statutes, Chapters 847.011(1)a and 847.0133(1), displaying obscene materials to minors or printing such materials may be a violation of the law and could result in penalties up to and including imprisonment. Those unwilling or unable to comply to these Policies will be asked to leave and if necessary, the police will be contacted.
