Improved Computers:  Now configured with
Windows Steady State
You may now save files to the hard drive of the public computers for easy processing and file transfer.  You may also download and install programs you need to work with.  When you log off, the computer will reboot and return to the state it was in when you began, deleting any saved files and erasing any system changes you made.

Lab

The main lab consists of 40 Dell PCs with large capacity hard drives and  flat-screen monitors in a public setting.  Computers are connected to high speed internet.  Wireless access is available for patrons with their own laptops.   

Two dual-computer stations afford a parent accompanying a small child to be seated together at a distance from the main lab.

A special workstation offers 3.5" floppy access, a card-reader for digital cameras and memory sticks, a document scanner, and CD-creating capability in a semi-private setting for special projects such as educational courses and job applications.

Use of the lab is free, subject to adherence to the Computer Use Policy outlined below. 

Both color and black & white printing is available for a small fee ($0.10 per page b&w; $0.50 per page color).

Classes

Free classes are offered in basic computer skills, web browsing, and setting up a free email account.
