ibrary. These computers are available on a self-serve
basis. Print fees are $.10 per sheet of paper printed with

You may not load software from home on the personal computers.
A CD that doesn't need to load software can be used. These computers will not access the internet (see Internet Computers below).
If users need to save data, CDs are available for $1.00 and flash drives for $10.00 at the public service desk.
Library staff will not provide instruction or training

The three personal computers have Windows NT and Microsoft Office XP software installed (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher). One of the computers is connected to a scanner and also has Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 installed. Storage devices for saving scanned images (such as blank CD-ROMs and flash drives) are supported, but not provided by the library.
Internet Computers
There are twelve Internet computers located on second floor
in Information Services, six in the Young Adult (YA) area and
four in the Children's Division. They are available on a first-come,
first-served basis. Each person is allowed one hour a day at an Internet computer. On Sundays (and Saturdays during the summer), patrons are limited to half an hour because of the limited hours the library is open. All internet times may be extended up to a total of 90 minutes if no one is waiting to use the computer.
A valid Rochester Public Library/SELCO
library card is necessary to logon to the Internet computers.
Visitors may use the internet stations with a picture ID. There

For those with wireless devices and personal laptops, a high speed wireless connection is available. No fee is charged, but first time users will need to create an account to login. For further information about library wireless, please read this brochure.
