The Library provides Internet Access through designated workstations and computers located in its branches throughout Monroe County and through dial-up access. Since these computers are also used to provide access to the library's catalog, Internet use may be limited in terms of the use, length of time, or time of day in order to accommodate other patrons and library services. Patrons using library computers must first sign in at the desk and once at the terminal must acknowledge acceptance of this policy in order to log onto the Internet.
Printers are available at most locations and the library's standard photocopy charges apply.
It may be more economical to download large documents to disk or to e-mail, and print them from a home computer. A registration form must be filled out with a signature indicating receipt of this policy and willingness to comply with it. An account name and initial password, and instructions for accessing the new accounts are mailed in approximately 7 to 10 days. Inactive accounts may be terminated. Files should be regularly downloaded to clear accounts of unneeded files.
