WiFi Network
The Library is a public place and used by people of all ages. Users are expected to use the library’s wireless access in a courteous, reasonable and responsible manner. Wireless users are asked to use discretion in displaying text or graphics which may be offensive to others.
The Library prohibits use of the Internet for any illegal purpose. No person may
- send, receive, view, or download any illegal material
- degrade or disrupt equipment or system performance
- vandalize the data of any other user
- invade the privacy of individuals
- violate federal, state, or local copyright laws or regulations.
Activities which disrupt the Library or its network are prohibited.
Printing is not currently available via the wireless connection. To print at the Library, work may be saved to a flash drive or emailed to the patron’s email account, then retrieved on one of the Library’s public workstations and sent to the public printer. (Printing costs $.10 per black-and-white page; $.50 per color page.)
When available the public may use electric outlets for personal computer equipment. Phone lines or wired network connections for networking of personal hardware are not available.
Library Staff Members are not responsible for individuals’ personal computer equipment, software malfunctions or lost data.
WiFi users should be certain that their laptops and other devices are secure at all times and should never be left unattended in the Library, even for brief periods of time. Theft of such devices is not the responsibility of the Library.
The Library strives to keep Wifi access points working, available, and functional for all. However, bandwidth and transmission speed may be affected due to number of wireless users actively online, maintenance, upgrade, training or other reasons.
As with most public wireless “hot spots,” this wireless connection is not secure. Another wireless user can potentially intercept any information being transmitted. The Library recommends that you do not transmit personal information such as credit card numbers and other personal identification numbers, or other sensitive information while using this connection. WiFi users assume all risks and responsibilities to provide anti-virus software protection and appropriate security settings on their wireless devices.
In addition to the policies stated above, users of the wireless network are expected to abide by the library’s internet usage policy.
Disclaimer: Use of the Rodgers Memorial Library’s wireless network is entirely at the risk of the user. Library staff is not able to provide in-depth technical assistance and no guarantee can be made that you will be able to make a wireless connection. The Library disclaims all liability for loss of confidential information or damages resulting from that loss.
