The Augusta County Library provides computers for public use as a service to its patrons. These computers offer:

Access to the Internet 
Online Services 
Word Processing and other programs 
Printing capability 

Public-use computers are available during regular hours of operation. Patrons may reserve a computer for a forty-five minute time period. If no one is waiting, patrons may sign up for additional ten-minute intervals. There is a three-hour per day limit.  Patrons will need their library card or a guest pass to sign-in to the scheduling system to use any of the public Internet stations. Patrons do not need to sign-up to use the Internet Express station, or the AWE computers.

Patrons are welcome to use their own USB flash drives for downloads. Patrons are not allowed to save files or download files onto the hard drives. Only library-owned software may be used on public stations.

Headphones are available for $1.00.  Printing (black/white only) is $.15 per page.  Wireless printing is not available.

WiFi is offered at the Main Library in Fishersville, the Churchville Branch, and Craigsville and Middlebrook Stations.

Internet users must have their Library card to access the computer reservation system. Users owing the library $25 or more in charges due to lost, missing or damaged materials may not use the public Internet computers until those charges have been settled in full.

A patron’s use of the computers may be restricted at the discretion of Library staff.  Unauthorized use of the library's computers, including tampering with the system's operation, integrity or security, may result in the loss of privileges and/or barring from the library.

Library staff will assist patrons with computer use if time permits. (See also Internet Acceptable Use Policy)
