Computer Use Rules

for Information Services workstations

  • The reservation system allows each user two 60 minute sessions a day. The computer will give a warning ahead of time, and then log off when your time is up.
  • If you don't log on within five minutes of your scheduled time, the system will release the computer for someone else.
  • If you log off before your 60 minute block of time is used up, you will lose the balance of the 60 minutes.
  • If you leave the computer for a brief time, be sure to lock it: click on "lock"at the top, and create a password. This will hold the computer until you return.
  • Please click on "done" when you are finished.
  • You must have an adult or young adult library card to use the computers. Computers for Children age 14 and under are available in the Children's Department. When the Children's Room is closed, children may use the adult computers, but only if an adult parent or guardian is with them during the entire session.
  • Anyone who displays material considered harassing to other users or staff will be asked to leave the computer.
  • For non-cardholders, guest reservations (one a day) may be available through the Reference Desk.
  • Telephone reservations for the next two days may be called into the Reference Desk (587-1012) if you have your card ready when you call.
  • We do not maintain or track information on library patrons or computer use. The reservation system is only to make sure everyone gets an equal chance for time.
