Computer Services

To help ensure fair access to public computers, the Library uses time management software from PC Reservation. Our print management software is from Envisionware. Anyone* may use the Internet/Word Processing computers for two hours each day. We have 12 Internet/Word Processing computers, 6 internet game computers, 5 non-internet game computers, and 3 non-internet game computers in the Childrens Section. We also have 2 laptop computers available for checkout and use within the Library. Patrons will log in using their library bar code number. Guests (those who do not have a Pine River Library District library card) may request a visitor's pass at the Circulation Desk. Computer reservations can be made by calling the Circulation Desk (970) 884-2222, ext. 10. See the Acceptable Use Policy for information on computer usage rules.

Printing is available from the Internet/Word Processing, Internet game and laptop computers. Printing is 10 cents per page for black and white, $1.00 per page for color. Printed pages can be picked up at the Circulation desk. See Copying & Printing for more information.

The Library also has wireless internet available throughout the building. Visit the Circulation desk for assistance in accessing the internet with your laptop.

Acceptable Use Policy

All users of the Pine River Public Library’s computer systems must read, understand and comply with this policy as well as any additional guidelines established by the Library.

The Lavenia McCoy Public Library requires that patrons using Library computer workstations, wired or wireless, do so within the guidelines of acceptable use. Pine River Public Library is not responsible for information accessed via the Internet. The library is required to provide a technology protection measure (CRS 24-90-600). The filter protection measure will be temporarily disabled for adults upon request. The filter protection measure will not be removed for any minor (a person who has not yet attained the age of seventeen years). Exposing Library staff or patrons to images which may be deemed objectionable or obscene will result in the revocation of Library privileges. Library staff is authorized to terminate any patron's session or revoke a patron’s computer privileges if a patron fails to comply with this policy. Illegal acts involving Library resources may also be subject to prosecution by local, state, or federal authorities. Patrons will be given two verbal warnings of unacceptable computer behavior and will then have their privileges revoked after the third incident. A revocation of privileges may be reviewed upon written request to the Library Director.

Additional unacceptable activities:

Although the library staff is able to offer Internet searching suggestions and answer some questions, they cannot provide in-depth training on the Internet or the use of personal computers.

The Internet is a worldwide, computer network providing an almost unlimited amount of information. Not all information on the Internet is accurate, current, complete, legal or philosophically, morally or aesthetically acceptable to all users. Users be aware and use responsibly.
