The Library provides computers for children with filtering software to limit children's exposure to some websites.  The software blocks some specific sites that could be offensive to some users. Filtering software may not block all material users might find offensive. The Boston Public Library has no control over information accessed through the Internet and cannot be responsible for its content. Parents may wish to supervise their children's Internet sessions.
