The Burlington County Library System (BCLS) provides a variety of resources to improve and expand access to resources and learning opportunities. Our Virtual Reality program offers such an opportunity to use this emerging technology. However, due to the unpredictable and unknown individual responses to virtual reality (dizziness, nausea, fear of heights, bumping into objects, etc.), BCLS requires participants to sign a waiver releasing the library from liability.
- Adults and minors ages 13–17 are welcome to experience our virtual reality program. Library staff will guide you through your virtual reality experience providing a brief overview, instructions on using the equipment, and helping you navigate the virtual experience.
- Meta Quest does not recommend that children under the age of 13 use the VR headsets.

- You are prone to motion sickness or seizures.
- You have impaired balance or conditions that affect your ability to safely perform physical activities.
- You have a health condition or an implanted medical device that might interfere or be impacted by the use of the equipment.
- You are or may be pregnant.
PLEASE STOP USE OF THE VR EQUIPMENT IF YOU FEEL ANY DISCOMFORT.
