The Ahrens Memorial Library is committed to providing our patrons access to
a global body of information as well as providing our patrons access to
software products that facilitate the creation, evaluation, and distribution
of information. To that end, the library provides public access to Internet
ready workstations with office software.
It is important to note that these are government computers and as such are
subject to the same regulations as government computers everywhere. However,
being a library, use is not restricted to official business.
By using the library
workstations, the user is granting consent to have his or her workstation
and Internet activities monitored.
The library assumes a
certain degree of computer literacy on the part of its computer users. If
you feel you need training prior to using the workstations, contact the Systems Administrator (572-7290).
Bear in mind that our primary mission is information access. Someone will
usually be available to help you with questions but this is not guaranteed.
If you have any comments, questions, or concerns regarding this policy or
the library computers in general, please contact the Systems Administrator (572-7290). |

Computer Restrictions
The System Administrator will periodically monitor to insure compliance.
Failure to adhere to the rules will result in losing library privileges.
Account Number and PIN
Library staff can look up account and PIN information for the sponsor and/or
spouse only with proper identification presented.
It is the sponsor’s responsibility to give the PIN to children under
18 to access computers. Up to 5 family members are able to log on at one
time using the same library card. |
Downloads
It is possible to download files from the Internet. You can save it to our
server (named: "SaveYourWorkHere"), CD, or USB flash drive. We have
8Gb USB flash drives available to check out for 3 days
Printing
Printing costs 10 cents per side for black and white documents and 25 cents
per side for color. The bill validator will take $1, $5, and $10 bills but
returns only coins. Please use the lowest denomination bill to keep from
depleting the coin-op. To print choose “Print” from your program's menu. A
blue pop-up will appear, name the print job and click the button. Then go to
the print station, select your document, input your money, and print. Ask a
member of the library staff for assistance if you are having difficulty. For
maximum safety, you should have the printed document in hand prior to
closing the document you're trying to print. Documents have been known to
disappear in the cyberspace between the workstation and the print station.
It is good practice to print preview your prints when printing from the
internet and/or Outlook. The library is not responsible for print jobs sent
incorrectly.
Age Limit Users age 15 or over with an ID card may use their sponsor's library account number provided they have been given the PIN to access the computers. Users under the age of 10 may use the workstations only if their parent or guardian supervises them.
