We're making some exciting improvements to ICT in our libraries, which include new PCs and a new booking system. Work will be happening over the next few weeks to transfer to the new system.
During the transfer to the new system you will continue to book through the existing booking link below, unless your chosen library is listed. If your chosen library is listed, you will book through the new booking system and link provided.
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.
Free wifi is available in all of our libraries. You will need your library card to access this service.
Some of our libraries have now moved to a new booking system as part of the improvements being made to ICT in our libraries.

Please note: the online booking link does not work when booking from a library Public PC. There is a dedicated link located on the Desktop of the Public PCs instead - please speak to a member of library staff if you need further assistance.
For help with bookings please contact Ask Inspire by phone on 01623 677 200 or email ask@inspireculture.org.uk.
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.
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.
Scanners are available at a number of Nottinghamshire libraries. Please ask when booking, as scanners may need to be used on specific machines.
You can use our library list to check which libraries have scanners available for public use.
