Computer classes are offered at various Library locations. You may search for Computers and Technology classes on our Events Calendar.
Data and audio CDs may be burned on Library computers using the Internet PCs. Copyright restrictions apply to Library materials, so please be sure that the burning of a CD is in compliance with copyright regulation.
Files may be saved in the Temporary Folder of Library computers during a session, but these files will be erased at the end of the session. Work may be permanently saved to a flash drive, CD, or emailed from the Temporary Folder. Google Docs and Dropbox are recommended free web-based services for saving documents.
Maintenance on the OPAC, or online public access catalog, begins at 2:45 a.m. daily and lasts until about 6:30 or 7 a.m. During this time it is still possible to browse the main catalog at http://aqua.aclib.us, but the "alternate catalog" (OPAC) is not available and holds cannot be placed. OverDrive account access also is unavailable during the maintenance. The daily maintenance is necessary, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
Due to the Library’s agreement with digital media providers, eBooks and audiobooks must be downloaded onto patrons’ personal computers.
When downloadable audiobooks were first released, some publishers had versions of their audiobooks already formatted for CD as one of the primary formats for audiobooks. These data files were already divided into 45-minute CD-length audio parts, so some publishers offered those files to OverDrive for licensing to libraries and burning by library users. Offering data in this format also discourages piracy.
eBooks are available for the Kindle. To get started, click the "Now Available" box on the left side of our OverDrive Digital Collection pages. It also is possible to limit searches in our OverDrive collection to “Kindle Book” using the Digital Media Search box dropdown menu near top-left of the OverDrive pages, or the Advanced Search in OverDrive.
The Digital Media page displays the Library services that offer downloadable eBooks and audiobooks. Please view the highlights for each service and the Tips for New Users to become acquainted with the Library’s digital media.
