Library Computers

When you log in to a computer with your library card barcode and PIN, the computer keeps track of time for you. You may use up to 1 hour per day (all at once, or in more than 1 session). An on-screen timer will help you keep track of your available time.

Anytime you are asked for your barcode you need to enter all 14 digits without any spaces. Most patrons have been automatically assigned a 4-digit PIN that is the last 4 digits of their telephone number. Patrons may update their account information and PIN at the Reference Desk.

All residents within our reciprocal borrowing area are encouraged to apply for a WCPL library card. Visitors to our library who are not eligible for a library card may obtain a guest pass at any service desk to access the computers for 1 hour. Guest passes are issued on an individual, daily basis.

Public computers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Certain computers are able to be reserved a few hours in advance. Catalog-only computers for searching for library materials are available throughout the library. Library cards are not transferable; each customer must use their own library card to access the computer.
