Anyone can go in sign your name on the list and sit down at any one of the dozen or so p.c.'s connected to the internet. I think you get an hour or so, although this may vary slightly in another state or during higher usage times. Until you buy your own (which I recommend perusing the classifieds or a local hardware/software resale store for a better buy in the interim), you can still keep up on the Forum, Chat, and other updates during regular library hours.

Back to libraries...

Some libraries, the local one for example, does not allow internet communication using their computers. However, you may have something like 20 minutes to go where you're going to go, if people are waiting.
