Using library computers

The Library offers two main types of computer workstations:

  • Research computers provide the Library catalog, selected databases and websites, and software programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Front Page. Internet access is restricted to the selected resources. No reservation or library card is needed to use the research computers.
  • Internet computers offer a choice of filtered or unfiltered Internet access in addition to the resources available on the research computers. You will need your ACLD Library card or an Internet card to use an Internet computer. Read about library cards, and how to apply for one.

Some Library locations offer other types of computers, such as laptops for in-library use, Express PCs for short Internet sessions, PC workstations designed for children, and eGovernment PCs, used to apply for unemployment or other government assistance. Contact your local branch for information about availability.
