Filters

 The Internet is a dynamic resource containing vast amounts of information and a small percentage of potentially offensive sites. Because of the nature of the way filters operate, there currently is no filter which does not inadvertently block Constitutionally protected material. Many of these unintentionally blocked sites contain valid and valuable information. Nor do filters block all potentially offensive sites. Therefore, the GFPL does not use filters for Internet stations located in the non-fiction area.

However, if a patron wishes to use a filter, it is possible to activate one from some of the major search engines on the Internet. If you need help with this, you can inquire at the Information Desk.
