Each library has desktop PC computers available with specialized software for statistics, chemistry and more. We also provide high-capacity black-and-white printers, outgoing fax and a copy/scanning machine.

We strive to provide accessible services and spaces to all our library visitors. We provide a variety of seating, lighting, and noise-level options, as well as online resources which are compatible with accessibility software and which offer content in multiple formats, including audio, html text and PDF. If you would like help accessing our physical resources, our staff can set books aside for you to pick up at the front desk. Learn more about our committment to accessibility.
