Computers and the Library


Every day, we have patrons who come in to use our computers. Some are merely passing the time, some are checking email and gaming, and some are only using our computers until theirs are fixed. However, there's been a real increase in patrons who use them to type up new resumes, search for jobs, and fill out applications. Other patrons have used our computers to study for GRE's, take skills tests, and attended our free computer classes to learn how to use Word, Excel, and look things up on the internet. Our staff members also do their best to answer technological questions and explain programs on the fly!

It's inspiring to see so many people learning new computer skills and accomplishing things they previously thought were beyond their reach, and we're proud that we provide such great opportunities!

 If you'd like to learn more about computers, or you know someone who does, contact the library to learn about upcoming computer classes! And as always, you are welcome to use our computers, scanners, wi-fi, and printers, as long as you have your library card! :)
