Computers and Printer
Library members have access to 12 computer stations (8 English and 4 French). Reserving is now easier than ever with our new walk-up option, which allows you to walk-up to any available PC and use it right away. You can also use the self-serve reservation station to book a session for later in the day. A valid library card in good standing is required.
Documents can be printed via our black and white printer (0.10 cents/pg). To make printing (as well as photocopying) easier and more convenient, a copy card can be purchased from the Circulation Desk for $2. Cards are refillable (change only). There is no color printing option.
Scanning Station
Use our scanner to help preserve images and digitize your documents. The station is equipped with a computer and an Epson Perfection V800 scanner. The following software is available to edit your material: Epson Scan, SilverFast 8, Paint.Net and Gimp.
With this scanner you can:
- Remove the appearance of dust and scratches from film
- Scan your photos and renew colour with just one click
- Scan and save documents to your USB or attach them to an email
- Digitize slides, negatives, medium- and large-format film
Members must have a valid library card to reserve the scanning station.
