Using Public Computers
- In order to use a Library computer you must log in using your Library Card number.
- Due to privacy rules we can not tell you your Card number.
- Choose any available computer, move the mouse, and click on the word Available. (If you see the word Reserved choose another computer or make a reservation (see a staff member if you're unsure of how to do this).
- Enter your Library Card number.
- Accept the Acceptable Use policy when prompted (you must accept in order to use the computer).
- Log off your computer when finished by clicking on the End Session button. This protects your privacy, makes the computer quickly available for the next user, and enables you to log in to a session on another computer.
- Computers left unused for more than ten minutes will automatically end their users session.
