Computer Questions
What do I need to use a computer?
Library computers are for use on a first come-first served basis. Patrons who have their library cards and know their PIN numbers do not have to stop at the desk before using a computer.
Patrons who have their cards but do not know their PIN numbers can present their cards at one of the service desks, and a library assistant can look that up for you.
Guest passes are also available to use the computer.
How long can I use a computer?
Computers are available for 2 hours a day in 2 hour increments. If computers are available, patrons may request additional time; however, should a computer be required they may be asked to end their sessions early.
What type of help is available?
Library staff will assist as time allows; one-on-one computer assistance is offered by appointment on Wednesday mornings.
