 We offer comprehensive services, including computers, wifi, copying, printing, scanning and faxing!

Computers and Wi-Fi

Our public computers are available for internet access, document editing, digital library use and printing. 

A limited number of public computers are available at each location. Each patron can use one for two 1-hour session per day. If there aren't any patrons waiting for a computer, the session may be extended in 30-minute increments. Two extensions may be offered automatically by the computer once the timer is below 5 minutes. You must click the "Accept" button to receive the extension. The timer is located in the top of your screen, and your time remaining will show in the black bar. If for any reason the computer does not automatically offer time extensions, please ask library staff about a time extension before the timer runs out. Please be mindful of your session timer.

 Login with your library card or ask for a guest pass.  If you would like to use our Wi-Fi, it is available for all library users.  Simply look for the library guest network.

 


Copying and Printing

Make copies or print your documents in black-and-white/grayscale. Copies may be limited to letter size (8.5" x 11") and legal size (8.5" x 14") paper.

  • Scan and save to USB/thumb/flash drive.
  • Scan and save to mobile device (via scanning a QR Code).
  • Scan and print/copy the document (black & white / grayscale).
  • Send the scan directly to email.
  • Send the scan as a fax (black & white / grayscale).


Fax

We can send/submit faxes to domestic (U.S.) and international numbers.

Confirmations are sent only to the email address provided. Library staff do not have access to fax status.

After sending a fax, you will receive two email notifications: one confirming that the fax was sent, and another providing the delivery results.

A fax may fail to send due to the following:

  • The number is incorrect. Confirm you have entered the correct fax number.
  • The receiving number may be unavailable (machine may be off, busy, out of paper, offline, etc.)
