I am truly distressed to report that we are having severe problems with our public access computers in both library buildings. They are available for use but may reboot during your session. If they do, please see a staff member who will reset them and get you logged in again.

We are working with the City’s Information Systems department to diagnose and fix the problem. In the meantime, I request your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.
