Why Can I No Longer Get to My Internet Email Account at City Facilities Other Than the Library?
The computers at the Community Centers, unlike those at the libraries and Senior Centers, are connected to the City's employee network and are therefore subject to all employee network policies. This means that email access other than authorized City email accounts is not allowed. The purpose of these computers is to provide "computer" access to the public, not necessarily Internet access. The computers at the libraries are purposely placed there to offer Internet access to the public. They are not connected to the City's network and therefore are not subject to its internal computer policies. This means that you can access your email accounts from any public library that provides Internet access.
If you have further questions, please contact the Community Center manager.
