A Library card is required to reserve a computer. Guest cards are available which allow the use of computers but do not allow for the borrowing of materials.
	Basic computer sessions are 60 minutes long. This can be extended if no one is waiting. Card holders are limited to 120 minutes each day.
	The charge for printing is 15 cents per page; printing must be completed by the end of the next day. Color printers are available at some locations; the charge is $1.00 per page. Click here for a list of locations with color printers.
	Altering or abusing computer equipment and/or settings is prohibited.
	Internet workstations are located in public areas. Users need to be considerate and refrain from displaying materials that those around them might reasonably consider objectionable.
	Users must abide by the Miami-Dade County Liability Disclaimer and User Agreement available at: http://www.miamidade.gov/info/disclaimer.asp

Anyone who violates these rules may be asked by staff to leave the Library premises. Library staff may ask for assistance from local police department if needed to enforce these rules.

A note to parents:
The Miami-Dade Public Library System encourages patrons to use the wealth of excellent sites for homework, learning, and enjoyment. Since the Internet is a global electronic network of information not under the control of the Miami-Dade Public Library System, the Library cannot regulate the nature or content of the information accessed nor the availability of any given Internet site. There may be sites that carry information some individuals consider controversial, inappropriate, or offensive.

Librarians cannot act in the place of parents in providing constant care and supervision of children as they explore the Internet. The responsibility for what minors read or view on the Internet rests with parents or guardians.

The following are recommended guidelines for parents and guardians to insure that children have positive online experiences, whether at home or in the library.

	Use the Internet as a family. Join your children in Internet exploration.
	Explore the wide range of available information and tell your children about sites you consider inappropriate for them.
	Encourage children to use sites recommended on the Library's Home Page and counsel them to avoid sites you consider unsuitable.
	Provide guidelines for your children on the amount of time they spend online, just as with television viewing.
	Instruct children NEVER to give out personal information (name, address, password, telephone number, credit card number) online.
	Teach children to be good online consumers. As with print information, consider the source, date, and accuracy of online information.
