Computers, WiFi & Printing

Public Computers

A computer station can be used for 30 minutes with a valid Gwinnett County Public Library card and PIN. A computer session can be renewed for an additional 30 minutes provided another customer is not waiting.Computers begin the shutdown process 10 minutes prior to closing. Reservations and renewals are not available during this time.

If you do not have a library card you may request the use of a guest pass.

A parent may select an alternate Internet access option for the library card of their minor child. A minor without a library card can request the use of a guest pass that provides access to the library's catalog, databases, and additional educational and reference websites. Any child may play educational games on our KidiMac computers (no internet access).
