Wireless Services
The library provides free wireless services through the Recreation Centre. The network is LSHotSpot-New and no password is required.
Children and Gaming Computers
There is no age restriction on using our computers, though children 5 and under must be accompanied at all times while in the Library. Library staff cannot monitor children on the computers. Responsibility for all content viewed or accessed by children in the library belongs solely to the parents or guardians of those children.
We have three AWE Early-Childhood Literacy Stations loaded with educational and fun games which our younger patrons can use without adult supervision.
Printing
Printing is available for a cost of $0.25 per black and white page or $0.75 per colour page. Discounts are available for bulk printing.
The computer user must ensure proper page setup before printing, as all pages printed are subject to the fees.
The Mackenzie Public Library reserves the right to suspend or cancel a library patron’s computer privileges for just cause, including but not limited to, destruction of library property, disturbance of other patrons, inappropriate treatment of staff, illegal use of the internet, or delinquent patron status.
