The library has 12 internet ready computers for public use.  Each computer is loaded with Internet Explorer and a suite of Microsoft Office programs including Word and Excel.  There is a printer available for your use.  It costs 15 cents per page to print. 

You will need your library card to access these computers. We do have guest passes if you are visiting us from out of town.  You will not be able to access these computers if you are under 17 and do not have a permission slip signed, or if you owe $5.00 or more on your library card.  We ask that you use only your library card on these computers.  There is a 2 hour time limit per day so that all patrons have a chance to use the computers.
