Public internet access computers

Computers with internet access are available for public use at all Durham County Library locations.

You can sign in to an available computer in the library by typing in the number from the back of your library card or computer use card, along with your PIN. If you don’t have a library card, you can get a computer use card from the checkout desk of any library location by presenting a valid ID. You don’t have to be a Durham County resident to get a computer use card.

Our public computers have time limits per session, which vary by location.

Your data is erased from the computer when you log off. See our privacy policy for more details.

Use of our public computers is governed by the technology policy.
