We have four Windows 10 desktop PCs for public use. All are web connected and linked to the library printer. One PC is also linked to a scanner.
You don’t have to be a library member to use the computers, though you’ll save money if you are.
Reservations
Walk-in sessions are usually available though at busy times we can’t guarantee that there’ll be a computer free for you to use. If you need to use a PC for something vital or time-sensitive – for example printing travel documents or tickets – please ring us in advance during our opening hours on 01609 534584 to book a computer.
WI-FI printing
Wi-Fi printing from your iOS or Android device is available. You’ll need a library member account in order to log-on. Printing costs just 25p for each side of A4 black and white.
Fees
Library members get an hour of computer time FREE each day and pay £1.60 for each extra half-hour. For non-members there is no free hour – the fee is £2.60 for each half-hour.
Tip: Joining the library is easy and free. It makes good sense if you plan to be a regular computer user.
Printing costs 25p per side for A4 black and white, and 50p per side for A4 colour.
Concessions
Computers may be used for an hour FREE each day by anyone:
- aged 18 and under in full-time education;
- who is receiving Job Seekers Allowance (JSA) or Employment & Support Allowance (ESA); and
- whose computer skills are severely restricted by a physical or cognitive difficulty.
Each subsequent half-hour costs £1.
Internet Subscriptions
If you’re a regular computer user you’ll probably save money with an internet subscription allowing either six hours use per week or unlimited time. Please ask at the desk.
Computer help
If you’re using a public computer and ask for help, our volunteers will try to assist. Please note that this depends upon the IT skills and knowledge of the volunteers on duty when you visit. We can’t guarantee that someone will be available to help you.
Sorry, but we don’t offer troubleshooting services for mobile phones, tablets or laptops and their software.
