Info

Palm Springs Public Library is committed to providing free and open access to informational, educational, recreational and cultural resources for library users of all ages and backgrounds. The Internet, as an information resource, enables the library to provide information beyond the confines of its own collection. It allows access to ideas, information and commentary from around the globe. Currently, however, the Internet is an unregulated medium of information. As such, while it offers access to a wealth of excellent information, it also enables access to some material that may be offensive, disturbing, illegal, inaccurate, misleading and/or incomplete. The Library upholds and affirms the First Amendment right of each individual to have access to all constitutionally protected material, including the Internet. The Library does not filter, or otherwise limit access to, material on the Internet. Users are encouraged to be good information consumers by evaluating the validity of information accessed via the Internet. Library staff, and the library selected Internet sites on the Library's homepage, (www.palmspringslibrary.org) can be good starting points for Internet searches that are consistent with the Library's mission and service roles.
