Desktop computers
Library computers with Internet access are available at all library locations. Stations are offered on a first come, first served basis. Guests who do not have an APL card may request a guest pass, which is valid for a 60 minute session. Additional guest passes may be requested when the previous pass has expired. Patrons who sign in with an APL card receive additional time. You can sign up for a reservation in the library using a reservation terminal, or ask for help at a desk.
Laptops/Tablets
To checkout a laptop or tablet you must have a verified APL card with fines less than $25. Laptops and tablets are for in-library use only. Only 1 laptop or tablet can be checked out per library card at one time. Laptops and tablets will not be checked out less than 30 minutes before closing, and must be returned 15 minutes before closing.
Laptops are available at all APL libraries. You must be 18+ years old to check out a laptop. You may be asked to present a picture ID.
