What
you need to know about Internet Filtering: 
•By
law, Dodge City Public Library is required to filter the
internet to protect minors from potentially offensive
materials.
•However, filtering software is not 100%
effective.
• The library does not allow minors to access the
internet without the parent/guardian signing for permission on the minor's registration card.
•A parent or guardian may retrict a minor's Internet
use.
•Anyone over 18 may ask to have the filtering disabled
for their session. Proof of age may be required.
•Any patron caught violating library policy will
be asked to leave. |

Is
it true?: |
The

we guarantee accuracy. The user must use his/her judgement
about the accuracy of any information accessed from the
Internet.
