Computers and Printers

All the computers at the North Providence Library now have a time and print management program installed on them. To use a computer you will need to type in the number from the back of your library card. If you are visiting the area you can ask for a guest pass. The time limit for most of the computers is 60 minutes, with 30 minute express stations on the second floor reference area. When you click on print, a box will appear on the computer to let you know how much the print job will be. After this, you will have to go to the computer and printers at the reference desk on the second floor, or the computer and printer next to the copy machine on the first floor to pay and retrieve your copies. You will type your card number in, and if you decide to print, click on the print job and insert your money into coin/bill acceptor, and the then your copies should print. The coin/bill acceptor will only accept $1.oo, $0.25, $0.10, and $0.05.

Looking for a job?

On Monday March 9th, 2009, the library will start to offer WinWay Resume Deluxe on the computers in the 2nd floor computer lab. This program will guide you through the process of creating a resume along with cover letters. In addition, it will bring you to job search sites so you can look for a job in your field. If you have questions, ask at the Reference Desk, and someone there will be able to assist you.
