Public Use Computers
Serramonte Main • Westlake • John D. Daly • Bayshore
 |
The Daly City Public Library provides access to computers
with internet and Microsoft Office applications at all four
locations (scroll down for details).
A valid library card is required to use the 1-hour computers. Express Stations providing 15-minute access for visitors are available at all locations. For guests from out of the State/Country, a 30-day Guest Computer Use Card providing full 1 hour access may be purchased for $10. Our computers are managed by the same timing and print management software used at all libraries in the Peninsula Library System (PLS). |
Time Limit: 1 hour/day per person, enforced by timing software (time used at one library will count at all other PLS libraries).
Reservations: at all branches, there are computers that may be reserved online up to 2 days in advance (reservations are held for 5 minutes only). All other computers are available on a first come-first served basis.
Printing: all printing is 15¢ per page (black and white, laser quality). Printing must be pre-paid and each user needs to set up a print account. Unused funds remain in the account and can be used at any PLS library.
Saving:you can save to floppy disk or flash drive. Floppy disks are on sale at the Check Out Desk for $1. There are no accessible CD or DVD drives on library computers.
Restrictions: for security reasons, nothing may be saved or installed on the hard drive of a library computer and CD-ROM drives are not accessible.
Privacy: the Library respects and protects the privacy of all users. A library card is required for computer use so that the software can enforce time limits, thus assuring that everyone gets a chance to use the computers. The computer’s record of internet sites visited is automatically deleted when you log off.
If you will be using the public-use computers at the Daly City Public
Library, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our Computer
Use Policy and Internet Policy.
All users are required to accept these policies when they log in. (These
policies are in PDF format.)
