Three brand new computer workstations have been installed along the north wall of the library. Each workstation has a 22 inch flat screen computer monitor and uses Windows XP. Although the machines do not yet have Microsoft Office, they do include Star Office, a less well known office suite that can provide compatibility with Microsoft Office products. Microsoft Office will be added at a later time. Library patrons are reminded that use of the computers requires signed computer use and internet use forms. Patrons should expect only twenty minutes of computer time to allow all patrons access to the machines. |
