The library has 4 computers
available for public use during all hours the library is open. The
computers offer
Microsoft Office software as well as Internet
Explorer for web browsing. Users may plug in USB devices such as
thumb drives and digital cameras, as long as the device does not
require that software be installed to use it (ie: you can access
Word files on a USB drive). The library uses an automated
time-management system to help supervise computer use. During busy
times, each user gets 30 minutes of time. If not all computers are
busy, or no one is waiting, your time will be extended (up to 1 hour
for visitors, 4 hours for those with library cards).
The library subscribes to a
T-1
network connection, a form of high-speed Internet access
that makes it possible for many people to be on-line at once.
Checking email is fast, and users are able to watch videos or access
media-heavy web sites without lags.
For those users with
laptops, iPhones,

PDAs, or other wireless devices, the
library broadcasts a free, high-speed wireless internet signal
through the building during regular hours of operation. There is a
long work counter on the 2nd floor of the library with power outlets
at every seat, perfect for wireless users.
Cell phone use is not
restricted in the library, but we do ask that you keep your voice at
a low conversation level and turn the ringer on your phone to silent
to avoid disturbing other library users.
