Internet access
We have free wireless (wifi) internet access at all our libraries (except on the Mobile Libraries) as well as free internet access on our library computers.
Library computers
All library computers are free to use and have a range of productivity software installed. The Mobile Libraries do not have public access computers.
Booking computers
- PCs are available on a first-come first-served basis. If all computers are in use an automated queueing system operates.
- Some libraries offer 15-minute express machines.
Available software
Our PCs run a wide range of software including Office applications, various image, audio and video editing and viewing software and much more. You can save your work to USB, CD, or memory cards (not all PCs have all options).
Family history computers
Family History computers bring together links to free online resources, subscription online resources available via eResources and CD-ROM databases — all on one easy-to-use menu. They are reserved for the use of family history researchers only.
Scanning
Our printers allow customers to make a scanned copy of a document direct to a USB drive. Little River Library does not offer scanning.
There is no charge for this scanning.
