Borrow devices to use anywhere

Here at the David and Joyce Milne Public Library, we offer a variety of options to suite all your tech needs outside of printing & copying. 

Why buy new technology when you can borrow? The Thingdom is our lending library of things, from which you will be able to borrow from a wealth of exciting items! We have an enormous catalogue of tech items waiting for you to check out. Items include speakers, projectors, wifi hotspots, and more. Explore our Technology Thingdom here.

Use Public Computers

We provide computers for patron usage! 

​

  • Chromebooks for in-house use can be found at the front of the library near the Circulation Desk.

  • Public computer access is available. There are three desktops found near the printer and copying machine. These may be used for two hours at a time. Scanning your library card will begin the session.

    • If you do not have a library card, you can sign up for one here or stop by the Circulation Desk to get one in person!

  • We offer earplugs for public computers in case you need to listen to audio. Stop by the Circulation Desk and ask for a pair!
