Children's Computers
There are two computers in the Children's Department that contain educational and entertaining games and stories. These computers are not connected to the Internet and do not require parental permission or library cards in order
for a child to use them. They are available on a first come, first served basis.
There are also two Internet computers specifically for children. These computers are more highly filtered than other Internet computers in the libraryl.
Email, chat and social networking sites cannot be accessed on the children's Internet computers. A library card and parental permission is required to access the Internet computers.
Listening and Viewing Centers
In the Children’s Department, there is two stations available to use in the library with our audio-visual materials.
Children can enjoy books on CD and music CD's at the Listening Center. At the Viewing Center, both VHS and DVD videos can
be watched. Both stations are also available to preview audio-visual materials before you check them out.
