Computers & the
Internet
The
library offers high speed access to the Internet and Microsoft
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Public PCs have diskette drives
but no CD or Zip drives. You may use your own USB storage
(e.g. thumb drive).
We’re
wireless! You may use your own
laptop computer in the library if you have a wireless
card.
Print
charges are 10 cents per page for black and white
copies and $1.00 per page for color copies, whether you use
your own or the library’s computer. Diskettes and CDs
can be purchased at the front desk for $1.00 each.
