Stay cool on the computer

Summer is a time of fun in the sun, complete with frolicking, being footloose and fancy free, away from habitual cares and worries, even if it’s only for a week or two. Perhaps sitting on a beach, by the lake or at the ocean, walking in the park or going out for ice cream may be a few ways you spend the fine days. Riding a bike, watching the clouds pass by, swimming, having a barbeque, sitting on a terrasse with friends - there are countless possibilities to use the wonderful moments well.

Mind you, during short spells of hot, hot heat and high humidity, outside is not always the place you want to be. At times it is too uncomfortable to partake in any sort of activity out of doors. Or maybe the heavy air just feels oppressive and is hardly conducive to moving about in a vigorous manner. As ever, at your favourite local library, we have the solution for you.

Nine public computers are available, by reservation over the phone or in person, for a booking of one hour per person per day. Whether you need to type a letter in French or search the Internet for some information, it is possible to do so in a cool environment and contemplate life, the universe and everything. If you are in a terrible hurry and just need to verify your e-mail on the go, stop by the Audio Visual Desk to ask for a chance to use the Express Computer. And for those with laptops, PDAs or fancy mobile phones – there is free wireless Internet available in the library from 10 in the morning to 10 at night.
