Public Computers

We have 28 Internet stations, offering access in twenty-some languages.

To use any of these stations you must have a valid library card from this library and have it with you, or buy a $5 two hour guest pass. In the senior room, and rooms A and B, you may have use 3 sessions or 2 hours per day, whichever comes first. Additional information: Policy

Wireless Access

We have two wireless accounts, one in the library and one at the computer center. A limited number of seats and electric outlets are available. If you are logged on to the library account, TPlibrary, you can also print.

Catalog Stations

Seven catalog stations are available. Access is limited to the library catalog but anyone can use them, no account is necessary.

Note: except for two of the catalog stations, all our public access computers are Linux-based. You probably won't even notice.

News from the Computer Center

We are takoma on tumblr. See some of the earlier posts. Most posts to our tumblr account are meant for our computer center users, though we are happy if others sometimes find them useful. (Severely truncated versions go to the twitter account tpcc)

We have long been takoma at twitter, and use that account to record some of what we are doing at the circulation/reference desk in the library. Tiny excerpts from our various blogs, news/books/children/teens, also go to @takoma.

Slightly larger blog excerpts also go to facebook where we have a Takoma Park Maryland Library page. Look for the blue mosaic avatar and use the news tab.
