Hello, We currently require parents to sign a permission slip for children under 17 to use our computers. We are thinking of doing away with the permission slips for several reasons. 1. Parents are not reading the slips, they're just signing 2. Anyone using our computers has to accept our computer policy before they can get on the Internet 3. Our Internet is filtered in the children's department, and children are not allowed on the computers in the adult department unless a parent is sitting with them 4. We have kept up with a list of children who have and have not turned in permission slips (several hundred names are on this list), but as staff retires or moves onto other positions, our newer staff does not know who all these children are and have found using this list to be very confusing and/or tedious. The biggest reason we have not discontinued use of the permission slips is because our Wi-Fi is not filtered (but our Internet is). We are wondering if other libraries require permission slips before allowing minors to use filtered computers? If so, what are your reasons? If you don't require permission slips or have done away with them, what are your reasons? Thanks in advance! -- Ashlee McClaughry, Young People's Librarian Comstock Township Library 6130 King Highway P.O. Box 25 Comstock, MI 49041 269-345-0136 ashlee.ctl@gmail.com
