PALMERSTON NORTH CITY LIBRARY’S INTERNET POLICY

The core purpose of the Palmerston North City Library is to inspire people to explore the pathways to the world - Te Ara Whanui o Te Ao. One of the ways we aim to do this is to provide community access to a variety of information resources including the Internet.

We think that the Internet is a great source of information and welcome your use of our service. As an information organisation the Library also has a commitment to provide users with access to sources of information in an atmosphere that encourages information sharing and provides a rich collection of resources. Through the Library’s Internet connection you have access to the range of resources of the World Wide Web.

Please be aware that the accuracy and relevance of material found on the Internet cannot be guaranteed and as a user of this service it is up to you to decide what is appropriate and to take responsibility for any data retrieved.

As with all Library materials parents, guardians and care givers are responsible for their children’s use of the Internet.
