The Woodburn Public Library provides access to the Internet to patrons of the library. The Library uses PC Reservation software to schedule our Internet computer use. All patrons will need a library card to use the computer. Out-of-area guests must register with the librarian at the Reference Desk. We cannot accept telephone reservations for Internet use.
Individuals 13 years of age and older may use the Internet computers in the adult reference area; those 12 years of age and under must use the Internet computers in the youth services area. (Call the Youth Services department at 503-982-5260 to ask about their specific policies.)
Please read the Sign-Up Procedures prior to using the Woodburn Public Library's Internet computers for the first time.
Adult Sign-up Procedures
Schedule your Internet session in person with name and library card number, in the adult/reference area of the library. The Self-Service Reservation Station allows you to choose the type of computer and sign-on time you want.
Each patron may schedule up to 60 minutes of computer time per day. This time may be divided as desired and available between three types of computers: 60 minutes, 30 minutes, and 10 minutes.
These computers offer Internet access plus Microsoft Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, & Publisher), and assorted other programs and reference tools.
Reservations are held for five minutes, after which the time will be reassigned.
