Laptops for Use Inside the Library

We have 12 Dell laptop computers available for use within the library. A valid ID is required to check out a laptop and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Ask at the Circulation Desk for more information.

Wireless Printing

Your Library is a PrinterON hotspot . Users -- whether inside the Library on a laptop, at home, or work -- can send print jobs to the Library's black and white or color printers. Printing costs ten cents per page for black & white, and twenty cents per page for color. Print jobs remain in the queue for 5 hours to give you time to drop by and pay to release your print job. Find another PrintSpot near you. Click here for detailed instructions. Please note that Microsoft Publisher documents and Office 2007 documents cannot be printed using the wireless service.

For patrons with wireless devices, we offer free WiFi. If you're searching for a WiFi hotspot near you, try this page.
