In addition to our publicly available Windows/PC computers, the library also has several Apple Macintosh computers. Serving to augment our existing computer resources, these new iMac Computers include standard web browsers and Microsoft Office products, and feature attached flatbed scanners, CD/DVD burners, and suites of creativity software.

Note: Printing Issue On Library Macs
The recent system upgrade to library Macintosh computers has resulted in this slight adjustment to printing procedures. After clicking the Print button a new window will open asking you for your user name and password. Click the OK button on this window to send your job to the printer. You do not need to enter your username or password; simply click the OK button and your job will print.
