The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires libraries receiving certain types of federal funding to install software designed to filter visual depictions that are obscene, contain child pornography, or are harmful to minors. Rather than jeopardize potential federal funding, the Minneapolis Public Library Board authorized the installation of filtering software to comply with CIPA. In accordance with the law, persons aged 17 or older may request to have the filters disabled for any lawful purpose that meets Minneapolis Public Library Internet Policies and Guidelines.

Please note: Internet filtering software may fail to block objectionable content and may unintentionally block sites that have legitimate research value. If you believe a particular website should be permanently blocked or unblocked please complete our online form to make a recommendation.
