Computers in Libraries

All our Libraries have computer facilities providing access to the Internet, web based e-mail and Microsoft Office applications, including word processing and spreadsheets.

In addition our two largest mobile libraries each have a laptop with free internet access for public use and three libraries provide free wireless internet access

The computers are free to use, but there are charges for printing and you must provide a CD or USB stick to save your work.

Software upgrade

Between January and April we will be updating the software on the public computers in libraries, particularly the “plug-in” software such as Flash, which in some cases is currently too old to allow users to access popular websites.
