Use a computer

Who may use the computers:

• Persons wishing to use the computer must first check with the library staff on duty before using the computer.  

• Persons wishing to use the computer must be a cardholder at the Fayette Community Library and have no fines or fees over $1.00.  Computer usage will be revoked until obligations are met.

• As a convenience to out of town visitors the library will allow them to use the computers but must relinquish if a cardholder needs to use it after the 30 minutes is up.

• First time users will receive a brief orientation by the library staff on the proper use of the computers and on the types of software available.
• There is no age limit for computer users: however, parents will need to give internet-use permission for their minor children.

Things to know about using the computers:

• It is the user's responsibility to report anything wrong with the computers immediately.
• The library's software is protected by copyright and may not be copied.

• No food or drink is allowed at computer workstations.
• While a librarian is always available for guidance and assistance, they are unable to provide in-depth instruction.
