microcomputer The library's public access computers are available for use by the public. Children ages 7 and older may use the computer unaccompanied once they and a parent have registered with the library. You may call ahead to arrange for a registration or orientation. Registration is required before you can use the computer, and the process consists of reading over our use rules and taking a short quiz to let us know that you understand your responsibilities and that you know how to use the computer. Library staff are not available to help you with your computer work or to answer computer-related questions.
