Three Public Access Computers in Children's Room with Internet access, and Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. The Library does use filtering software as a measure to help children use the Internet safely. However, we urge parents to enjoy and oversee the Internet use of their children in the Library, as filtering software is not a perfect solution for safe-guarding children. Email for children is not available.

Two computers with a wide variety of educational games and early learning activities for children ages 2 to 7 are available in the Preschool Area. NOTE: Children under 10 years must be accompanied at the computer and throughout the Library by a parent or caregiver.
