Public Computers


Twelve workstations are available for public use, including two filtered computers in the children's area.  All of our patron computers are equipped with Windows 8 or Windows 10, Microsoft Office 2013, Internet access, USB ports, headphones, printer connection, and free online research resources.

Note:  A library card is NOT required to utilize the patron computers and/or WiFi, however, patrons MUST read and sign an Internet Use Policy Agreement at the circulation desk.

WiFi
The library is a WiFi hotspot!  Patrons who wish to utilize this service, on their own wireless devices, may connect to the network after agreeing to the terms of use from their web browser.

Copying & Printing


Patrons may make copies on a public copy machine next to the circulation desk and/or print from any of the patron computers.  Copies/print-outs are 15¢ per page for black and white and 20¢ per page for color.
Inter-library Loans (ILLs)
Although our library collection meets many patron needs, we cannot carry every book in print due to limited space and acquisitions budget.  However, patrons may request materials through inter-library loans.
How do ILLs work?
Patrons with a valid Edgewood Community Library card can fill out an ILL Request Form at the circulation desk and pay, in advance, $1.00 per requested title to help defray postage costs.  The Librarian will then request the title/s through ILLiad to be sent by mail to the Edgewood Community Library for pick up by the requesting patron.  Once the material/s has arrived, the patron will then be notified by a librarian.
    • Please allow 2-3 weeks for processing.
    • All ILLs must be returned to the Edgewood Community Library.
    • If the requested title/s cannot be located, patrons will be refunded, in full.

New Mexico residents can freely access El Portal from any internet connection 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  El Portal uses a technology called Geo-IP authentication. Geo-IP authentication checks the IP address of the device you use to access the resources and compares it to a database of all IPs known to originate within New Mexico. Once your IP address is validated as an IP address within New Mexico, you can access El Portal online resources without being asked for any logon or password.
