Trustees approve edits to Computer Use and Internet policy, clarify children's-room access
Summary
The board approved edits to the library's Computer Use and Internet policy to specify that the 3-hour desktop-computer limit applies to the 2nd floor and to add a separate two-hour limit for the children's-room computers; trustees also discussed how to handle "mature" material access.
Trustees reviewed and approved revisions to the South Burlington library's Computer Use and Internet policy to clarify where desktop time limits apply and to add explicit rules for the children's-room computers. Jennifer asked that the policy language be amended so the line "desktop computers may be used for up to 3 hours" read specifically as desktop computers on the 2nd floor; she also asked that the children's-room rules be copied into a separate section for the Marabella kids space. Holly clarified that the usage increments for the children's computers are "either 15 or 20" minutes rather than 30.
The board discussed mature material and access controls for the children's space; trustees emphasized they are not banning materials but restricting where some material is accessed so the content remains available while limiting unattended access. After discussion, a trustee moved to accept the proposed edits with the discussed changes, the chair called for those in favor and the motion carried on a voice vote.
