NOTICE: As of November 2, we have temporarily closed the building to the public and are back to a curbside pick-up service only. This is due to the sharp increase in positive COVID cases in Maine over the past week. Please check back on this website and our Facebook page for changes and updates. THANK YOU for your understanding as we strive to keep our community safe!

Public Computers

Please note: during the COVID pandemic, our computer availability is limited.

We currently have 10 computers for adults in the 2nd floor reference area, and sessions are limited to 1 hour.

Kids computers are currently unavailable. Two computers for teens are located in the Teen Zone, and sessions are limited to 30 minutes.

You do not need a library card to use a public computer. To use a computer, stop at the Reference Desk (adults) or Youth Services desk (teens) to get a pin code. Login on the AVAILBLE screen using the pin code, and the login on the Windows login screen, using the password “public”. When you are finished, click the red X next to the timer at the top of the screen, to log out. The Library uses Deep Freeze software, which reboots the machine after logout and removes any data or history from the last session. Patron privacy is important to us!

Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi)

The Library offers some of the fastest Internet available. Through the Maine School and Library Network (MSLN), we have a 1Gbps fiber connection and wireless access points throughout the building. This is available 24 hours/day.

To connect, find the Curtis Memorial Library Wi-Fi signal through your device- there is no password, but there is a policy page that must be agreed to before you are connected.

We now offer wireless printing in the 2nd floor reference area. For details, visit this page.

Printing wirelessly or from our public computers is ¢10/page for Black & White, and ¢25/page for Color.

Photocopying

At this time, we have one color copier on the 2nd floor in the reference area. Cash only.
