Phase Two of the library renovation project begins September 3! During construction, many services for adults will be limited. The reference desk and a limited number of computer stations will be relocated temporarily to the Meeting Room. Computer session lengths may be limited. Please check back for more details.

Using the Computer Lab

Computer labThe library has 14 Internet computers available for public use, along with a 10-minute-only Express computer, a Genealogy station, and three Word Processing/Office stations.

You can sign up for a computer at the kiosk near the Reference Desk. You do not need to have a library card, and there is no charge to use the computers. All computers are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Session Times:

Internet computer: 1 hour
Express Internet: 10 minutes
Word Processing/Office (no Internet): 2 hours
Genealogy: 2 hours

There is no limit to the number of computer sessions.  If you are running out of time and other computers are available, please ask at the Reference Desk for a time extension. Sessions cannot be extended when other patrons are waiting, but you can sign up for the waiting list.

All computers are running Windows 7. Internet and Word Processing computers include Microsoft Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007. The Word Processing computers also include Publisher 2007 and Resume Builder.
