To keep computer access and library operations safe and hygienic, we’ve had to make some changes.
-
We can only offer limited computing services right now, to keep the library safe for everyone.
- The Riverfront Library’s first-floor computer lab and the Will Library’s main reading room PCs are the only computers available to the public.
- No guest passes and no reservations, since so few computers are available right now.
- You must register for a library card in order to use a public computer.
- If you don’t have ID or proof of address, you can get an Internet-only card! You can’t borrow books with this card, which expires after one year, but you can use the library computers once each day.
-
Everyone is limited to one 30-minute computer session per day. No extensions, so that more people can use the computers.
-
Patrons suspected of using several library cards to get more time may lose their computer privileges.
-
You must wear gloves when using library computers, and you must wear a face mask covering your nose and mouth all the time you’re in the library.
-
In order for everyone to stay at a safe distance, library staff cannot give any hands-on help with computers or technology. We are sorry, but we can’t help you by doing anything like typing or using the mouse for you. No exceptions.
-
When the computer session is over, you must leave your seat and let the next person use the computer right away.
- Social distance is important! Patrons can’t share computers if this makes it impossible for other patrons to keep six feet away while using library computers.
-
Library staff may end computer sessions or suspend public computer use at any time.
-
All library policies must be followed while using the public computers.
