How to Book a Computer
For your first booking please go to
your local library to register and receive your user number and PIN (Personal Identification Number).
Once you are registered you may also make bookings over the phone.
Your user number will be the number on your library card, so please have this ready when you want to book.
Non members and visitors are also entitled to use the computers. Staff will issue you with a temporary card.
Booking guidelines
The computers and internet service are extremely popular so we have introduced the following guidelines to help as many users as possible to access the machines.
Once registered you can make up to 2 advance bookings within a 5 day period.
Usually you will be able to book up to 2 hours computer time per day, but at busy periods this may not be possible.
If you find you need more time at the end of your session, please speak to the staff at the bookings desk who will try to accommodate you.
Your booking will be held for 15 minutes. If you fail to login by that time the booking will be automatically cancelled.A copy of the
acceptable use policy (pdf: 622kb) will appear on the screen after you login. You must accept these conditions if you wish to proceed.
Ten minutes before the end of your time a message will appear on the screen advising you that your time is running low. The message will appear again with 60 seconds to go.
Please note that it is
not possible to save work permanently to the computer's hard-drive.
