Exhibit 1 'tip �ITY �F t PLEASANTON. Public Access to the Internet Policy Pleasanton Public Library's mission is to be the place for all members in the community to "Discover, Connect, and Share." To fulfill this mission, the Library provides free and equal access to resources in a variety of formats to meet the cultural, informational, recreational and educational needs of the diverse community it serves. The Internet is an integral part of resource access. However, not all information provided through internet sources is accurate, complete, or current, and may be dangerous or offensive to some people. The Library assumes no responsibility for the content or accuracy of information obtained through internet sources. The Library assumes no responsibility for any damages, direct or indirect, arising from its connections to the internet. It should be understood that internet use in a public environment, such as the Pleasanton Library, inhibits any guarantee of privacy. Moreover, all transactions, files and communications may be vulnerable to unauthorized access such as computer hacking by third parties or transmission of compromised data use and, therefore, should be considered public. Children and the Internet The Pleasanton Public Library supports parents and guardians in their efforts to guide their children's intellectual and social development. As is the case with other resources in the Library, it is the sole right and responsibility of the parent or guardian to provide any monitoring or restriction of their own child's access to the internet. Parents or legal guardians are therefore responsible for the following: 1. Monitoring their minor's access to content on the internet. The Library cannot control sites that children may select on the internet, and staff cannot act in place of a parent or guardian to do so. 2. Supervising the safety and security of their minor(s) when using email, social media platforms, instant messaging, and other forms of electronic communications. 3. Preventing unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal identification information regarding their minor(s). 4. Preventing unauthorized access, including "hacking," and other unlawful activities by their minor(s) while online. 5. Avoiding a minor's access to materials that a parent or guardian deems harmful to their minor by monitoring all internet use.
