Use a Computer

The library provides use of public computers for library members. You can use the computers for up to 2 hours per day, subject to availability. Headphones are also available for loan.

Please note that our computers will automatically lock-out prior to the closing time. Find our opening and closing times here.

Not a member? Don’t worry, anyone can join, and membership is free. Visit us at either library branch with some identification to get started. Learn more about library membership. You can also get a one-day guest pass from a staff member.

Online Computer Booking

You can access our public computers by simply walking up to any not currently in use and logging-in with your library membership or guest pass. You can, however, make bookings in advance through the My Monitor online portal.

Visit My Monitor and select PC Reservation from the menu. From here, you can book a computer from either branch, or modify your existing bookings. Ensure you can always access your preferred computer at the time you want it by booking ahead!

Mobile Print

You do not need to use our PCs to print if you already have the file on your own device.  You can print from your own laptop, tablet or phone.  Detailed, step-by-step instructions for first-time users are available inside each branch.

You need to be a library member, or have a guest pass, to use the mobile print service. Learn more about library membership.

You can manage all your printing through MyMonitor.  Visit MyMonitor, login with your library card or guest pass, and then select Web Print from the menu.  The default settings are one copy in black and white, but you can change this by pressing the Change button.  You can then use Select files… to upload the files you wish to print.  You can pay for your printing at our self-serve kiosks and release them from our printers.

If you accidentally have the wrong settings for your print job, you can correct this.  Select the item you wish to change the settings for and press the Change Job Attributes button.

To print via email, email our printer and attach the items you wish to print.  Printing via email will default to A4, black & white, single copy.  You can pay for your print job at our self-serve kiosks and release them from our printers.

If you wish to change the settings for your print job, you can manage this through MyMonitor.  Visit MyMonitor, login with your library card or guest pass, and then select Web Print from the menu.  Select the item you wish to change the settings for and press the Change Job Attributes button.

Please note that this requires you to use the email address registered to your membership.  If you use a different email address, or do not have one registered to your membership at all, it will automatically create a Guest Pass and email the details of this Guest Pass to you.  In this situation, you will need to use your Guest Pass to change settings, pay for printing, and release it from the printer.
