Internet Access

Your public library provides six computers for unfiltered public Internet access. Customers may conduct research through our online databases, surf the Web or access email accounts. Due to the popularity of these stations, however, customer use is limited to one hour of computer time per person per day.

Internet sessions may be activated by entering your library barcode number. If you don’t have an FSPL card, a guest card will be provided for your use.
