Computers

We currently have 12 computers in the Adult Services Department for use by adults 18 and up. No reservation is needed.

To use a computer, you can log on with a WPLD card or a guest pass. If you don’t have a WPLD card, present your photo ID at our Member Services Desk to receive a guest pass. If you have a card from another Illinois public library, register it at the Member Services Desk.

If a parent or caregiver does not wish their minor to use the computers, you must opt out when registering the child for a library card.
