Adult Internet Access
Internet access is available for adults through six terminals in the Atrium. PC Reservations, an electronic registration system coordinates the use of the computers. Patrons must abide by Library Rules and Regulations concerning the Internet (Please see the Policies and Procedures at the bottom of this page). Residents only need a valid Riverside Library card and must be in good standing to use the computers. Ask at the Circulation Desk for rules concerning these computers for non-residents.
