In cases where a patron wishes to gain access to a blocked website, the following remedies may be employed:

1. Anyone who is 18 years or older may ask a Library staff member to disable the TPM so that he may view a website that is blocked. If, after reviewing the website, the staff member determines that it is overblocked, he will temporarily disable the TPM and allow that person immediate access.
2. Anyone may ask that a blocked website be reviewed to determine whether it is overblocked. If this is found to be the case after review by designated staff, the website will be unblocked and made accessible to anyone who uses the Library’s Internet computers. This review and unblocking process may require several days to complete.
