Changes to booking computers in libraries

As part of some exciting ICT changes we're making in our libraries, the booking system you use to reserve public computers is changing.

This change is being introduced as part of a wider programme of improvements to upgrade computers to Windows 11 and simplify access - this means no membership will be needed to log on, and you'll no longer be disconnected after two hours.

During this period of change please check the information on our computers in libraries page before booking your computer. If your library is listed, upgrades are complete and you'll need to follow the new link provided and book your computer using the new system. If your library is not listed, you'll be directed to book via the old system.

If you need help to find and book a computer, our team at Ask Inspire would be happy to help you, please get in touch on 01623 677 200 or email ask@inspireculture.org.uk

Limited Space in Children's Area at Eastwood Library

Due to a faulty fire exit, we have had to make some temporary adjustments in the children’s area to maintain our high standards of Health & Safety. As a result, space in this area is limited so we do ask that, if possible, people attending Rattle, Rhyme & Roll and Lullaby Bank could attend without buggies. 

If you do bring them, we may have to park them in another area of the library, so we advise not leaving any valuables on it.

We apologise for any inconvenience

Dukeries Library Adult Public PC Out of Order

The Dukeries Library adult public computer is currently out of order – there is only one filtered (children’s) computer available.
