Public desktop computers are available in the library on a first come, first served basis.

Sessions are guaranteed for an hour to start, then cardholders can renew their sessions for one-hour increments so long as there is no waiting list.
Local visitors without a CLAMS card may obtain a free Guest Pass which will provide a one-time-use login. A Visitor’s Pass allows for one 60-minute session.
