From Monterrey Public Library https://www.monterey.org/library/About-Us/Library-Board-of-
Trustees/Library-Board-Policies/Library-Board-Policy-170
Library policy gives parents or guardians the right and responsibility to restrict their children's and only
their own children's use of Library resources, including computers and the Internet. The Library respects
the right of parents to determine what it is appropriate for their children to read, hear, and view, but
the Library cannot enforce these rules, which may be different for each family in our community.
Parents are encouraged to supervise and to participate actively in their children's computer and Internet
use. The Library does not act in loco parentis: It does not have the same role in supervising children that
schools have, and it cannot substitute its judgment for that of parents or enforce parents' decisions
about their children's Internet use.
