Public Computers
We have computers available for public use. All public computers require user login. These include all stations at the Computer Center, Computer Lab, Local History Table, and Youth Services.
Residents will use their Library card number to log in at a Resident computer. Guests will use either their TLN registered library card or request a Guest Pass to use a Guest Computer. Please note that an ID is required to obtain a Guest Pass.
The public computers allow you to access the Internet, use a number of Microsoft Office 2016 programs, burn CDs, watch DVDs, listen to music, and scan and edit photos.
There are no time limits on computer use for residents. Guests may use 2 hours of computer time per day.
Patrons are encouraged to bring their own memory sticks/drives to save their work as all data saved to the computer is erased at the end of the session.
