Library Computer Update


New Computers
Originally uploaded by decatur library.
Need to finish your paper or presentation? In order to better serve you, all of the computers in the library now feature Microsoft Office programs including Word, PowerPoint, FrontPage, Access and Excel. All of the USB drives on the computers now work as well along with most of the floppy drives. Floppy drives that don't work are covered with a sign. Please don't move the signs and try to use those drives. They really don't work.

There are also two new computers in the area near the photocopiers and TV/DVD/VCRs for your convenience.

Take a look at our computing page for more information on computers in the library and our computer use policies.
