books that are donated and then sell certain books online and split the profits with the
Friends. This month they sent a check for the 1st quarter which was over$1,600.
- The Friends of the Library is a very small organization; with only 4 board members and have not
had any new people come to the board, and is trying to find a way to get more people involved to
have fresh ideas for the library.
- Roz asked David what he contributed to the increase of$1,500 to $4,000 for the book sale.
• David said he's not sure,it could be that the year before there was no book sale.Another
thing was that the Friends recently partnered with Square which allowed patrons to use
credit cards when buying items from the Friends.

a monthly meeting and then any events that are being held at the library.

saying they are the top 100 users of the library congrats! We'd like to extend an invitation to join
the Friends of the Library. Many were in agreement.
-3 Roz asked if the overall purpose of the Friends is to fill the gaps that the library has. David wasn't
sure if gaps was the correct wording,he sees it more as providing enhancements to what is
already there.
• Roz clarified that by"gaps"she meant, as things the library needs but didn't have in the
budget.
-3 Juan asked if other local city libraries have Friends groups as well. David said they do and he
reached out to one before but that they were just as small as ours.

Rita and Truett Smith Public Library
Public Computer and Wireless Use Policy
Approved by the Library Board
January 24, 2022
Introduction
Access to information resources and equipment are offered by the Rita and Truett Smith
Public Library (Smith Library). Resources in electronic format are part of the Library's
reference service and are in accordance with the Library's Mission Statement.
Services Available
Typical services may include access to:
• Internet access
• Software including but not limited to word processing and spreadsheets
applications.
• Children's educational software
Services may be added or removed as decided by library staff.
Since the Internet makes accessible a rapidly changing array of resources, it is not
possible for the library to control or monitor content on a regular basis. The library
utilizes software that blocks sources on the Internet that are obviously inconsistent with
the library's mission. This does not fully guarantee that individual users are protected
from accessing content they personally may deem undesirable or disturbing. Please be
advised that filtering software is not foolproof; it diminishes the likelihood of seeing
offensive material on the Internet but does not totally eliminate the possibility.
Registration & Time Limits
• All users, adults and minors, that wish to use computer workstations must be
registered cardholders with the library and must sign in to the computers located
in their respective areas of the library.
• Adults may request guest passes at the Help Desk located in the Adult Services
Department.
• Only the individual cardholder may use his/her card for internet access.

guardian has given permission via signature on the minor's library card
application. Minors are defined as anyone aged 17 and under.
01/24/2022 Item A.
• All computers are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
• Time limits will be imposed on all computers and may vary depending on
availability. Users shall abide by a reservation management system and
procedures implemented by the library. All computers will be unavailable 10
minutes before the library closes.
• Staff Assistance: The library staff, on a day-to-day basis, will help with computers
and Internet use as able and reasonable. Staff members are not available for
extensive training except during scheduled training sessions. Staff members are
not permitted to enter any personal patron information such as log-ins or
passwords.
Use by Children & Teens
• Children seventeen and under are required to have the written permission of a
parent or legal guardian to access the Internet.
• Library staff is not responsible for assuring the appropriateness of information
accessed by children or teens.
• The responsibility for what minors read or view on the Internet rests with parents
or guardians.
• The parent or legal guardian must complete an application provided by the
library, and sign in order to obtain Internet authorization for their child.
Guest Passes
Non-card-holding visitors to the Smith Public Library may request one guest pass per
day. Guest passes are good for two hours per day only. Guest passes are issued only to
adults 18 and older. To obtain a guest pass, a photo I.D with proof of age must be
