Computer Use Policies And Computer Procedures

The use of computer workstations at the Pennsauken Public Library is an important service offered to Pennsauken Library Account Card clients. The following set of policies and procedures are to be followed while working at the Pennsauken Public Library.

You must have your current Pennsauken Library Card with you to begin a session. (A pass may be secured in lieu of a card once a year or during your initial library card application process.)

If you do not possess a valid and up-to-date Pennsauken Library Account Card, you may purchase one 60-minute session of computer time per day for a fee of $5. You will be given a pass to be utilized in the computer-use section.

Your card may be scanned now. If you have Library fees or fines attached to your Library Card, go to the front Circulation Desk and pay for them.

You are limited to one 60-minute session per day. The Librarian may grant (additional time if there are no additional people waiting to use the stations.) (Likewise, less time may be mandated in extreme high-use periods at the discretion of the Librarian.)

Access to computer stations by minor Pennsauken-based students may be granted at the discretion of the Librarian if no Library Card is presented. However, every effort to communicate the importance of securing a Library card is made to the student and ultimately to their parents and guardians.

Write your name and time you start your computer session on the pad situated next to the computer you will use.

If all workstations are occupied, write your name on the yellow Internet Waiting List located at the Reference Desk.

Two people may work together if approved by a Librarian.

If you want to use Microsoft Word or another Microsoft Office Product and do not want to use the Internet, Sign-In at the Reference Desk. You are allowed two hours.

Keep your Library Card or Library Pass on the desk.

Pre-school and children in grades up to and including Grade 4 must be accompanied and work with an adult.

No chat allowed. No instant messaging allowed. No inappropriate web sites are to be accessed.

Gaming is allowed at the discretion of the Librarian.

Please treat the computers with care. Bring your disk to the Librarian so that it can be approved for use. If your actions (example: bad disk) causes damage to the computer, you will be held responsible.

All cell phones must be turned off within the library facility or put on vibrate mode only. Calls may be made in the lobby area of the facility only.

Violations of Library policies and procedures may result in your session or visit being terminated.

Please contact Library staff if questions arise.
