Internet use and safety

Teen using PC Each of our libraries has computers for young people to use.

You can use the computers:

for study
to research school or personal projects
for revision
just for fun

It's a good idea to book computers in advance as they can get very busy. You can book a computer online, or by visiting or phoning your library.

If you are under 16 and want to use the Internet, a parent or carer will need to sign a form to say that they agree to this. Just ask at your local library and we will post a permission form home to them. Think U Know logo
