Can I still access the computers if I don't have my card with me?
No, unless you remember your barcode number and PIN. Otherwise, you would have to pay $2.00 to replace your card.
Does the library have a scanner?
Yes we do! Our Library Document Station™ is located upstairs in the Information Services Department. This all-in-one, self-serve station enables you to scan documents, book pages, or photos, and convert them to PDF, JPEG, PNG or Microsoft Word format. The scanned files can then be sent to a mobile device, emailed, or copied to a user-supplied USB drive. The minimum fee is $1.00 which includes 10 scanned pages/sides. Once the minimum fee has been met, additional scanned pages are $0.10 each. Scanned files can also be printed out through our existing print payment system. Regular printing fees apply.
Does the library have computers with internet access for public use?
Yes, you would just need to go to the circulation desk and ask for a Computer Access card if you do not already have a Full Access library card.
Does the library have public wi-fi?
Yes. The network name or SSID is called ChapinGuestAccess. No password is required, however, users must agree to our Internet Policy each day their device connects to our network.
