Public Computers

HPLD offers a number of public computers with internet connections, popular software packages, and hardware that can connect to most gadgets and data cards. A software reservation system is used to control busy times and for this reason a HPLD library card number is required to use the public computers. Place a reservation at the reservation kiosk at the library with your library barcode or if one is available simply sit down and sign in.
