Computers & Software

All DCDL branches offer public computers with free internet access for both library-card holders and guests. Visitors without a library card will be issued a guest pass. In addition to our desktop computers, laptops are available to borrow for in-library use to patrons with their library card.

Audio Booths at the Delaware and Orange branch libraries are equipped with an iMac computer, loaded with the Apple OS and software like Audacity, Skype and Quicktime. 

Maker Studio workstations come equipped with the Adobe Creative Cloud, Affinity Suite, Autodesk Fusion 360, Prusa Slicer for 3D printing, and VinylMaster Cut for vinyl cutting. 

Audio Booths and Maker Studio computers may be reserved in advance, but are generally available on a walk-in basis.

Faxing

All Delaware County District Library locations now support free faxing. To fax a document either domestically or internationally, please inquire at the reference desk in your local branch.

Hotspots

Patrons are able to check out and take home a mobile hotspot just as easily as they would a book or DVD. Mobile hotspots are small, portable devices that provide wireless internet access with unlimited data usage for any device that can connect to a wireless signal, such as a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or gaming device. The hotspots will provide internet access to users in any location with a cell signal. Use it on your vacation, for your next conference presentation, or to temporarily add wireless connectivity to a home that does not have it. They may not be renewed, and there are no late fees on them. However, once the loan period is up, the device will be deactivated and the full replacement cost of the hotspot, the cords, and the case will be billed to the patron’s account. Upon return of the device, the charge will be removed. View the full lending policy here.
