Minors and the Use of the Internet Parents and guardians of children under 18 years are responsible for their children's use of the Internet. Parents and guardians are strongly advised to supervise their children's Internet sessions. The Library does not censor any patron's access to materials or protect minors from information which may be considered offensive, controversial, or sexually explicit. Parents and guardians are encouraged to read Child Safety on the Information Highway, jointly produced by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Interactive Services Association.
