Reader PCs

ACity Library computers are equipped with a variety of software, including Microsoft Office 2016 (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint) and web browsers (Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge). Please note that these computers are not secure for storing personal documents. Each time a user logs off, the system is reimaged, and all files saved to the Desktop or My Documents folder are permanently deleted.

Readers are welcome to use their own laptops or mobile devices in the Library. Please note that our library has designated silent study areas and this must be adhered to.

The Wi-Fi network in the Library allows all ACITY Library users to access the internet for free using our networks. Wi-Fi-enabled laptops, tablets and mobile phones can all use our Wi-Fi networks. Details of the available networks and guides to help you connect are available upon request at the Library.
