From
library computers you can access the internet and use our installed word
processing and desktop publishing software.
Inspire also has subscriptions to a number of online reference resources which can be accessed by people using the computers in our libraries. These include ancestry and archive services.

Printing, scanning and photocopying services:
If possible please bring correct change to use these services.
As part of our exciting ICT changes we're introducing payment by card and some of our libraries will soon be able to offer cash or card payment options.
Printing Services:
All libraries have their PCs linked to at least one colour printer. Printers are set up to automatically print in black and white and double sided, but you can choose other options.
At the moment it isn't possible to print from your own device over wifi, but as part of our ICT improvements you will soon be able to print from your own device at every library, and at some libraries, make card payments.
Visit our charges page for information on printing costs.
