New Wireless Internet:
The Jackson County Library now has wireless internet. Free to use inside the library. No passwords required.
Internet Policy:
The library's Internet access is intended as an information resource and the use of the computer is a privilege. We have four computers with internet access, two downstairs and two upstairs. We do not reserve computers in advance; you must come in and sign the book at the desk to use our computers. A library card is not required to use our computers and there is no charge for use.
Adult library patrons use the Internet at their own discretion. Library staff will assist patrons with Internet use as time permits, but cannot offer personal instruction on computer use. The Jackson County Library System does not protect persons from information found individually offensive. The Library has no control over resources available from outside the library, nor does the Library have complete knowledge of what is on the Internet at any given time. We cannot be responsible for its content.
The Internet may contain material that is inappropriate for viewing by children. The library staff is not in a position to monitor and supervise children's use of the Internet. As with other library materials, restriction of a child's access to the Internet is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian.
Computer users may not install or use any software that is not installed by the library. Attempts to damage computer equipment, or alter computer configuration, is an unacceptable use of the library's electronic resources. Displaying, sending, or receiving material inappropriate for viewing in a public place is prohibited by Arkansas State Code 5-68-205. Inappropriate material is defined as pictures or text, which could reasonably be construed as obscene or pornographic, as defined by Arkansas State Code 5-68-302.
The Library will deny computer, or Internet access to library users who misuse or abuse the library's electronic resources, or who are found in violation of this policy. First offense will result in a one month suspension, second offense one year. If Internet searching results in disruption of library services, or if patron behavior when using Internet resources becomes inappropriate for a library setting, the library reserves the right to end the session.
- Sign up at the circulation desk before using the computers
- You may sign up for 1 (one) hour-long session each day
- Only disks provided or approved by library staff may be used
- You may do email, but no chat is allowed.
- Cost for printing is 10 cents per page (black and white only available).
