At the end of July, the Main Library will open a new space on the first floor designed specifically for public computer users. This room will provide free access to 90 newly updated public computers with internet access, Microsoft office products, resume software and more. Each computer work station will have a private cubicle and space for up to two people to work together. As part of the renovation to the room, unused offices were removed, opening up a panoramic view of the Topiary Park for the public to enjoy. Customers may have 3 one hour sessions on the computers per day. All you need is a library card!

On the third floor, in the space previously used for public computers, a new space will be dedicated for laptop users. There will be room for several dozen customers to sit comfortably while charging up and using laptops or other devices. Free wireless internet service is provided. In addition to this new space for laptop users, the third floor provides many services including a computer lab with a variety of free classes, a large meeting room for public use, three small study rooms, access to thousands of books, periodicals and reference materials and expert librarians in the areas of job and career help, business, finance, entrepreneurship, health, grants, local history, genealogy and more.
