The Electronic Information Center opened in Spring 1997, as a downtown facility to provide public access to the Internet. There are eleven public access computers, each with a color printer. You can use headphones as well.
Printouts are ten cents a page.
The staff is available to help patrons learn how to search the Internet. Also accessible are some of the Wake County Government public records. The EIC has received four computers from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. These computers, while offering access to the Internet, also have on them the whole Microsoft Windows 2000 Suite, including FrontPage and Publisher. Patrons can return books from any library branch and can have any book sent from another branch.
