The Library now has public access computer stations at all of its 5 branches. All stations provide free high speed wireless access. Just bring in your laptop and ask library staff for the guest password!

Patrons are required to register with the Librarian before using a computer.

• Elgin/Main - 3 Stations & 1 Literacy Station for Children
• Delta - 1 Station
• North Crosby-Newboro - 1 Station
• Portland - 2 Stations
• South Elmsley - 3 Stations & 1 Literacy Station for Children

The public demand for our public access computers is always increasing. As such, patrons may no longer be able to drop in the Library and obtain immediate access to one of our computer stations.

We strongly suggest that you call the branch ahead of time to reserve a computer. This will significantly reduce your "wait time." Each session is to exceed no more than 55 minutes.

NOTE: The Library neither accepts nor recognizes interbranch reservations. You must call the individual branch you will be visiting. If the branch is closed when you call, you will need to wait until they are open to place your reservation.


The Library also offers basic computer lessons to its patrons. We can help you learn how to use a computer, email, word processing, and many other skills. To book an appointment call or visit the Library.


Please adhere to the following policies at all times:

• Children 14 and under must be accompanied by an adult in order to use the Internet.
• Internet users must be registered and preferably book ahead to use the computers, particularly in the summer.
• No downloads or changes are to be made to our public access computers.
• The use of chat lines is strictly forbidden.
• You may use memory sticks but please ask the staff to scan the stick for viruses first.
• We charge $.20 a page for printing.
  
  
• Remember that this is a public access computer and so nothing will be stored on it when you leave the library.
