Policy 2.11 on internet and electronic resource use is scheduled for review and possible approval by the New Braunfels Library Advisory Board on Oct. 27.
For library patrons, the posted policy text sets out free Wi-Fi, printing fees and conditions for losing internet access. The board’s posted agenda describes the action as a review and possible approval, so the policy question remains before the board.

What the posted policy says
The text says the library does not monitor information accessed on the internet and leaves judgments about appropriate material to users or a child’s parent or guardian. Staff may help with internet use as time permits, and the policy points patrons to Device Advice and Book a Librarian services. These provisions matter to families deciding how children will use library computers and to patrons seeking help with electronic resources.
