All RPL locations have public access computers available for cardholders to use. Simply bring your library card to your most convenient RPL location during business hours to log on to a computer session. All public computers offer internet connectivity, access to a variety of software programs, and printing capabilities; select computer stations also have scanning capabilities.

No library card? No problem! If you do not have an RPL card or cannot access your library card account, you can still use a public computer station.

For reference assistance over the phone, call 980-432-8670 to connect with your most convenient RPL location.
To suggest a title for the collection, complete RPL’s online materials request form. If the desired item is not acquired for the collection, customers can also seek an Interlibrary Loan — simply note that you are interested in pursuing one on the form.
As with most public wireless internet connections, the library’s wireless connection is not secure. There can be untrusted parties between you and anybody with whom you communicate, and any information being transmitted could be potentially intercepted by another user.
Cautious and informed wireless users should choose not to transmit personal information (credit card numbers, passwords, and any other sensitive information) while using any public unsecured wireless internet connection. All wireless access users should have up-to-date virus protection on their laptop computers or wireless devices. Any restriction or monitoring of a minor’s access to the library’s wireless network is the responsibility of the parent or guardian.
