Public computers: Usage policies 

Dell Wyse 5470 All-in-One

Who may use a computer?

All of our valued patrons are welcome to use a public computer while visiting the library, no reservation needed.

 

How long can I use a computer?

There is no set time limit but library staff may ask you to offer the computer to another patron, if needed. The computer will not turn off until the library is closed.

 

Can I listen to something?

Yes! We’re happy to loan you a pair of headphones at the Information Desk or you may use your own wired earbuds.
