Library
The Library has two computer labs for public use, one for adults/teens and one for children. The adult/teen lab is located on the 2nd floor and has twelve stations. The children's lab (designed for our patrons in 5th grade or below) is located on the 1st floor and has eight stations.
Library staff cannot be held responsible for content accessed by patrons under the age of 18. Children under the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult while using the computers.
First time computer users must set up a PIN for access at the Reference Desk on the second floor or the Circulation Desk on the first floor. Each patron will be limited to 120 minutes per day of use.
Free WiFi is also available in the library. Staff members will be happy help you get started with using the library's computers or accessing WiFi.
Printing Services
Black and white printing is available in both labs for 20 cents per page.
Color printing is available at the Reference and Circulation desk for 50 cents per page, but you must provide your documents via email or a removable storage device.
Patrons will be responsible for paying for each page that is released from the printer. If you're unsure about a print job, please ask for assistance at the Reference Desk.
