The proposed policy review concerns patrons who use library computers, wireless service and printing. The attachment addresses what patrons may do on library computers, responsibility for internet content, printing fees and circumstances in which a patron could lose computer access. It also describes the availability and security limits of the library’s wireless service. Those provisions give residents concrete topics to examine as the board considers the policy.
What the policy says
The attached Policy 2.11 says wireless connectivity is available at no charge at New Braunfels Public Library. Its wireless provisions also describe limits on security, a practical consideration for patrons choosing to connect their own devices. The computer provisions place responsibility for internet content on patrons and set expectations for conduct while using library equipment. The text treats printing separately from free wireless connectivity: patrons are responsible for printing fees. Readers can inspect the full policy language before the meeting instead of relying on this summary of its subjects.
