technology at the library
PUBLIC COMPUTERS
The Library has 8 computers available for public use during all hours the Library is open. Either log in with your Manchester District Library card (or other participating TLN library card) or ask the staff at the Circulation Desk for a visitor's pass to log in. The computers offer Microsoft Office software, and are available for web browsing. Users may plug in USB devices such as thumb drives and digital cameras, as long as the device does not require that software be installed to use it (i.e. you can access Word files on a USB drive). The Library uses an automated time-management system to help supervise computer use.
The Library has high-speed Internet access that makes it possible for many people to be on-line at once. Checking email is fast, and users are able to watch videos or access media-heavy web sites.
WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS
For users with laptops, tablets, smartphones, and wireless devices, the library broadcasts a free, high-speed wireless internet signal through the building 24/7. You do not need to have a library card to utilize this resource. There is a long work counter on the 2nd floor of the Library with power outlets at every seat, perfect for wireless users.
MULTI-FUNCTION COPY MACHINE
Our multi-function copy machine is available for public use. It allows you to make copies, scan a document (sending it to your email as a PDF), and print from our public computers (or your mobile device using our wireless printing option). Scanning is free; copies and prints cost .10 cents per page. Color copies are $0.25 per page.
