… to surf the Net, but remember there are some bad things on the Net. You will know the bad stuff when you see it or read it and feel uncomfortable about what you found. If this happens, leave the web site.

… to have Net friends to talk or chat with, but remember that they are still strangers and could hurt you. It’s ok to give your Net friends your first name. Don’t give your Net friends your last name, home address, phone number or tell them where you go to school. Don’t tell them about your family. Don’t arrange to meet someone you met on the Net.

… to look for fun stuff on the Net, but there are places on the Net that are for adults only. If you find yourself in an “adults only” place, or anyplace you think you shouldn’t be, leave the web site.

… to look at stuff that’s for sale on the Net, but don’t order anything, as these will need your name, address and a credit card number. Remember that any offer that is “too good to be true” most likely is.

It’s NOT OK…

… to use the Library’s computers without registering with a staff member. If you are under 12 you must be with an adult or a CAP worker.

… to print pages without making sure they are what you really want. Printing costs 25 cents per page for black & white, and $1.00 per page for colour.

… to have more than two (2) people at a computer workstation.

… to damage the equipment or alter the software in any way. Downloading programs from the Net is strictly forbidden.
