Technology and Internet

Public computers

Computers with office applications and internet access are available. The time limit is 1 hour. Additional time may be granted if there is no one waiting. Computer printing is in black and white and costs $0.20 per page.

The internet computers in the children’s area are for minors under 17 only. Log in with a children’s/teen library card or ask for a guest pass from the upper level service desk. The children’s room also has two AWE Early Literacy Station computers for children ages 2-8 and one AWE AfterSchool Edge computer for ages 8-12. These computers have built-in games, no internet necessary. Launchpad tablets by Playaway are available to borrow inside the library building. These are durable tablets preloaded with games for kids of all skill and learning levels.

The computers in the teen area are for teens age 12 to 19. Log in with a teen library card or ask for a guest pass from the lower level service desk. All teen area computers are loaded with Krita and GIMP for digital drawing and photo manipulation respectively.

The library wireless internet is an open network, no password required. Be aware that this means it is less secure than our public desktop computers, and communications over the network could be intercepted. There are several tables and chairs in the library with power outlets nearby to plug in your devices.

When you are connected to the library wireless internet, you can print wirelessly from your device. Click here to use wireless printing inside the library building.

Adults with library cards in good standing can borrow internet hotspots. These allow you to connect to the internet wirelessly. They emit a wireless signal that several devices can use to connect. Hotspots can be checked out for one week at a time. You may download and view the wi-fi hotspot agreement and guidelines here: HotspotAgreement (PDF, 276KB)

Copy Machine

There is a copy machine near the library front desk. Copies are black and white and cost $0.10 per page. (Double-sided pages are $0.20, $0.10 per side.) The copier handles letter-sized (8.5 x 11 inch), legal-sized (8.5 x 14 inch), and 11 x 17 inch paper.

The library does not offer faxing, scanning, or notary services. We recommend visiting a local copy/mail center for faxing or scanning.
