Computer Procedures at the Library

Patrons must make a reservation at the circulation desk to use a computer and time is limited to one hour.  It can be extended if no one is waiting. 

Printing is also available and you can choose black and white or color.  Black and white copies cost $.10 per page and color copies cost $.25 per page.  You can also choose to save paper by printing duplex. 

If you have a laptop, you can download a print client when you are in the library that will allow you to print to the library's printer and pay the same fees. When you download the print client, a file will save on your computer. Double click the file to install four virtual printers (you will be asked to save each one). Choose one of the printers when you are ready to print and enter your library card number or "GUEST" to submit the print job. A window will appear letting you know the total cost of your print outs.
