Computers & Printing

Our libraries offer public access to computers, the internet, printing, photocopying, and scanning facilities.

We will be upgrading to a new mobile printing system on 23 April at Brighton Library and 24 April at Glenelg Library. Mobile printing services may be impacted during this time.

All computers have internet access and Microsoft Office 2016 (Word, Excel, Publisher, Access) and are free for anyone with any library card from the One Card Network.

If you are under 18 you will need parental permission to access a computer.

Library card members can book up to a maximum of 120 minutes a day via:

• Calling the library or speaking to a staff member in person
• Booking online - you must enter your library card number and PIN. Please ensure you select the correct library e.g. Brighton or Glenelg.
• Making a booking at the library self-booking terminal

Bookings can be made up to a week prior.

There are also two 15-minute express computers at both libraries - no booking required.

If you are a library member, you can use any available computer by logging in with your library card number and pin.

Not a library member? Please see a friendly staff member who will be happy to assist.

The Media Lab is a dedicated computer intended for creative and digitisation purposes.

This PC can be booked for one hour at a time, up to a week in advance via the link above.

If you require assistance with scanning photos, negatives, slides, or cassettes, please book a 1-on-1 Digitising Family Photos session by either booking online or calling the library.

PrinterOn and our mobile printing email addresses allow you to send documents from your laptop, PC, or mobile device to our library's print queue.

You can then pay for and release the print jobs either at the library front desk or at our self-service print release terminals.

Your print jobs will stay on our print queue for 4 days.
