Internet and computers in libraries

Library computers are free to library members and visitors to use for up to 60 minutes a day..

Booking a computer

To reserve a computer at any library, please contact your local library or ask at the library desk.

Reserving a computer does not guarantee its availability. If the specific PC you requested becomes unavailable due to technical problems we will try to transfer your reservation to another PC.

No more than two people may use a computer at one time, subject to the discretion of library staff.

Internet access and other resources

As well as computers with free internet access, you can also find access to many online reference resources including Ancestry Library Edition.

Introduction to computers

All Oxfordshire libraries are UK Online centres and we will help you to sign up to UK Online’s Learn My Way, an excellent self-help introduction to computers and the internet that you can use to learn at your own pace. Some libraries also offer regular free computer help sessions in addition to special events. Please ask staff for further details
