Public Computers

Computer RoomComputer Lab

Our public computer room contains 12 PCs. Patrons may log on using their library card and visitors may print a day pass from our Library Payment Center (LPC) located right outside of the computer room. Computer sessions are limited to an hour and a half, but users can request an extension of their time at the circulation desk. Public computers are equipped with Microsoft Office 2010, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and other applications native to Windows 10.

 

We now have computers in the children’s section. The interface of these computers has been designed with your little one in mind, and has several fun and educational games downloaded onto the desktops. All you and your child have to do is sign in, click on the icon and have fun!
