Adult Computer Use in the Children's Room Policy

Laurens County Library

Adult computer use in the Children's Room is provided so that adults with a child(ren) are able to conduct brief internet or office tasks while still supervising their child(ren)'s visit to the library. Adults are still responsible for their child(ren) and their actions. If a child is repeatedly unsupervised or is destructive towards other children or library property, this constitutes a violation of Library policy and may result in temporary or permanent loss of use of these computers by the adult.

To reserve one of these computers you must be an adult (17 years of age or older) supervising a child under the age of 7. If your child is older than 7 years of age and needs to participate in the computer session, please use the computers in the adult area.

A few restrictions apply to reserve a computer:

• Only one adult per family can use a computer at any one time.
• Computers will be unavailable during children's programs.
• Priority for these computers is given for vocational/educational use over recreational use.
• Unfiltered sessions will not be allowed in the Children's Room.
• Headphones may not be used as the use of these could interfere with your ability to supervise your child(ren).
• Adults who need help in using the computer will be given extensive assistance in the adult area from the Reference staff. Children's staff can provide only minimal help.
