Library Responsibilities

• The Library is not responsible for damage to any removable drive (i.e. CD or flash drive) or loss of data that may occur due to malfunctioning hardware or software.

All created files will be wiped clean after a session ends by software in use on the Chromebook.
• The Library assumes no responsibility for damaging Library users’ personal devices, software, files, and/or equipment. Tampering with Library equipment or attempting to access or modify the operating system or any other software or programming, including bypassing security functions, is prohibited.
