Computer Sign-Up at Library 

Greenville Public Library patrons are now enjoying the new automatic computer sign-up system.  Rather than have a staff member log on for them, they can now walk up to any available public computer and sign themselves in.  It’s convenient and easy.  All they need is a current library card and a PIN number.  

Each patron is allotted 120 minutes a day on the computer.  This time can be taken all at once or spread out throughout the day.  They can just sign themselves in and out and come back later if they’d like - the computer keeps track of their account. This feature allows people to check their emails or Facebook more than once.  

Anyone over the age of four can obtain a library card free of charge by signing up at the Circulation Desk.  Parents or guardians must accompany kids under 18. Proof of a current address is necessary.  For a lost card $1.00 is charged.    

In some cases a fine may be charged to a patron’s account which prevents them from using a library card.  Circulation Supervisor Jenny Sullivan is happy to work with anyone in this situation.  Just see her for arrangements.  Sometimes a patron chooses to work off the fine by doing some volunteer work in the Library. 

The Board of Trustees decided to purchase the system from EnvisionWare after careful consideration of price and quality. The purchase was made possible from generous gifts from several donors:  the Friends of the Library, the Harry D. Stephens Trust, Linda Kinninger, and John & Beth Vehre.  Many thanks for their support.
