Can I print at the library?

Yes, the public computers that require logins are all connected to black and white printers. However, the 15 minute express computers are not attached to printers. Printing via the wireless network is available at the Brunswick, C. Burr Artz, Thurmont, Urbana and Walkersville libraries. Printing is not available over the wireless network at other branches. Printing at the library costs $0.20 / page, paid with money you add to the same account you use to log on to the computers.

Do you have public computers I can use?

All FCPL branches have public use computers with internet access, basic office software functionality, and printing capability. You must use your library card and PIN number to log into the computers, which have session time limits to ensure that everyone has a chance to access the computers. At some branches, "Express computers" allow quick computer access for up to 15 minutes without logging on, but are not connected to printers. Internet use at the public computers is governed by the Internet Policy.

Do you have wordprocessing?

Yes. Public computers with word processing functionality are available at every library branch. We are transitioning to offering Open Office including Writer (word processing), Calc (spreadsheet), and Impress (presentation) on all public computers with session times of 30 minutes or longer. Computers that can record information to CDs and read USB storage drives are also available at each branch.
