Children under the age of 12 (or younger than 6th grade) may use the computers located in Children’s Services, and teens in grades 6–12 may use the computers located in the Vortex. In order to use the Mac computers located in Studio 300, you must first attend Studio 300 Orientation. Please see our Computer Use Policy for detailed information about using our computers.

Fountaindale Library cardholders and Pinnacle library cardholders ages 8 and older may borrow a Chromebook to use while inside the library. Chromebooks can be checked out from the 3rd Floor Service Desk, Vortex and Children’s Services Desk for up to four hours at a time. You must have a library card in good standing and have a photo on file in our secure patron database. You will be asked to show your library card at checkout time. Please return the Chromebook to the desk from where it was checked out.
