The library has established procedures that govern the amount of time computer users may have access—30 minutes if there is a waitlist, otherwise an hour for Adults (18+), 30 minutes for Minors (<18) unless they need to complete school work, then they can have up to 1 hour. If there is a need for a longer timeslot, the library staff must be made aware to try to accommodate reasonable requests.
