The Library strives to meet these needs by providing appropriate technology as it evolves. As part of the Library's mission, a technology plan for the future has been developed. The Library has four Pentium personal computers for patron use. There are currently six 486 computers and two 386 computers and there is one Macintosh Quadra 605. Eight of these computers are used to access reference CD-ROM databases in the adult services area.
Internet access is available to the public.
In the adult area, the Internet is available during all library hours. The Library participated in Connect96, an initiative to wire schools and public libraries for the Internet, and ten additional sites within the Library were wired. The Library has a home page which is linked to the Town of Groton home page through a statewide program coordinated by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities and the state Department of Administrative Services. Library staff is responsible for maintaining both pages. Word processing is available to the public on three computers in the adult area.
