The North Shore Library welcomes all residents with a valid library card to sign on to our Word Processing and Internet Computers.

- Minors under the age of 18 need parental permission to use the Internet.
- Each person is allotted 2 hours per day of computer use. There is a ten-minute warning issued before the timeout.
(If $5.00 or more is owed on a library card or the library card needs to be renewed, a message will appear on the screen directing you to the circulation desk.)
