Laptop Use

We have laptops available for use in the library building. Staff will help you get set up at a table with a laptop and mouse. You may use the laptop to print, fill out forms, check your email, and browse the Internet as long as you need during library hours. During use, the laptop will be tethered to your table to make sure it stays in the library. We recommend you bring your own headphones as the library does not have them available.
