Using library computers
Anyone with a library card from Worthington Libraries, Columbus Metropolitan Library, or Southwest Public Libraries can use library computers. Local residents who are not library card holders will need to apply for a library card to use the computers. Out-of-town visitors may request a guest pass for access to library computers.
All Internet, Office, Teen, and Tween computers may be used in one-hour sessions, which may be extended if others are not waiting. You may have two sessions per day.
Job Help Center computers are available all the hours the library is open for job searching and resume writing. Sessions may be extended on these computers.
Homework Help Center computers are reserved for student use after school, Monday through Thursday, between 3-6 p.m. Outside of these hours, Homework Help Center computers may be used by all visitors in one-hour sessions, which may be extended if others are not waiting.
Express Internet computers may be used in 15-minute sessions only. Use of Express Internet computers counts toward the allotted daily sessions.
