Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the library staff help me configure my computer?
A: For liability reasons, the Library staff is not available to assist you with your laptop, wireless card, or configuration.

Q: Is Internet browsing restricted in any way?
A: Yes. Software filtering is utilized to block out gambling sites, adult content sites, and sites that pose a security risk to our network. The bandwidth available for the wireless Internet connection is also shared with all others in the library. In consideration of everyone's needs, we ask that you not download large files.

Q: Is the Library’s wireless connection secure?
A: The Library’s wireless network is not secure. Information sent from or to your laptop can be captured by anyone else with a wireless device and the appropriate software. All communications are passed through the Internet without encryption.  Therefore we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you transmit over the wireless connection after you log in to our network.
