Time limit
You may use the computer center for up to three hours per day. After your first hour, your time will be limited if other patrons are waiting for an available computer.

Printing
You may print from the library’s computers for a charge of 15¢ per page. You must pay in advance for all pages that you select to print at the coin-operated print station. We recommend that you use the “Print Preview” feature before printing. The Reference Department staff can help you with printing.
