Share the space

• Sign in/out each time you use the computer. Time is limited to 30 minutes if others are waiting.

• Due to the computer room being a confined space we ask that all computer users please refrain from wearing strong cologne/perfume and attend to personal hygiene as to not offend other computer users.

• All books must be current and all fees paid before library patrons may use computers.

 

Be considerate of others

• Be aware and courteous of others who have come to the library for a quiet environment.

• Disrupting or interfering with safety or normal operation of the library, library staff, or library visitors is not allowed. 

• Use headphones when listening to audio content and keep volume low so that you do not disturb others. (The library does not supply headphones.)

• No cell phone calls allowed while in the computer room.

 

Accompany your children

• We love kids! 

• We have educational tablets available for in-library use under adult caregiver supervision.

• Children under 16 must be under the supervision of a caregiver 18 years or older at all times.

• The responsibility for the care and safety of children using the library is solely that of the adult caregiver and not of the library staff.
