Technology Center
On the main level of the library there are nine computers for the public to use, three of which are for younger children with games and no internet, and there are eleven computers in the lab on the lower level of the library, for patrons 18 and over.
Students are given priority in the uses of computers for their school work or research.
Users must sign a document that states they agree to abide by the library's Internet and Acceptable Use Policy.
Users must sign in at the start of their library computer session, and sign out when finished.
Users must be at least 8 years of age.
If younger then 8 years old they need to have a parent with them, or use a computer that does not have Internet access.
Anyone under the age of 16 must have a parent's signature on file with the library before using the Internet
If all available computers are in use, users are requested to sign a waiting list and inform a staff member that they need a computer. The waiting list is first-come-first-served, in terms of people, as well as computers.
When there is heavy demand, users are requested to limit their computer time to one half hour (1/2 hour). If there is a waiting list, then the non-student users will usually be given 5-15 minutes to finish what they are doing. This does not apply to students.
The primary purpose for the library computers is for research. The use of computers for games, e-mail, and other non-research uses is on an as-available basis.
