Public computers are available at all library locations and are accessible with a valid Akron-Summit County Public Library card. You may use a computer for two hours. If no one is waiting, time may be extended to a maximum of three hours per day. We recommend using the Reservation Station to reserve a computer when the library is busy.

WiFi access is available in all library locations and can be accessed outside of our buildings. Use a parking spot nearest the library building to receive the strongest possible signal strength.
