Internet Safety
The nature of the Internet makes it possible to access a series of links that can take a child almost anywhere. Parents should guide their children while they browse the web just as they supervise their children's choices in reading, music and television. The Oakmont Carnegie Library is not responsible for the accuracy of information found on the Internet and has no control over the selection of banner advertisements a site has put on its web page.
