Libraries - Peoples Network guides

Ask for help to use our computers

Even if you have not used a computer before, you can ask to have a go at any library:

• we have staff in many libraries who provide support to new users

• there are also 'taster sessions' and courses in some libraries.

People's Network

Anyone with a library borrower card or People's Network card has fast-track access to the computers using their card number and PIN to log on.

If you do not have a card ask library staff, at some libraries you will be given a guest number for one-off use of the computers.
