Computer Use & Printing Services

Adamstown Area Library will begin offering public computer appointments every Thursday from 10 am to 7 pm. You may schedule a 45-minute appointment for one person to use a library computer inside the building. Appointments can be scheduled up to 7 days in advance.

Safety for our patrons, staff, and the community is our first priority. Library staff observe all safety precautions and computers are cleaned after each use. Staff can offer verbal assistance, but hands-on help will not be available due to social distancing requirements. We ask that you consider utilizing computer access at this time for priority needs, such as: job search, filing for unemployment benefits, maintaining email contact with friends and family, business needs, etc.

We will also continue to offer laptop and printing services via curbside service for patrons who prefer it.

Curbside services are available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday from 9:30AM-8PM, Friday from 9:30AM-5PM, and Saturday 9:30AM-2PM.

Laptop Services

To schedule a 1-hour appointment for laptop services, call the library at 717-484-4200.  This is a no-contact service, so laptops can be picked up in the vestibule.  Laptops are available for use in your car, using the library’s parking lot wifi.  We ask that you leave car keys or a valid photo ID as a deposit while you use the laptop.

Printing Services

Printing and copies cost 10¢/page for B&W and 50¢/page for color.

If printing from the library’s laptop, print as normal.  When you return the laptop, let staff know that you sent items to the printer. Staff will bring out your documents with your deposit item.

If printing from your own device, submit your request via email to info@adamstownarealibrary.org.  In the email, please include

  • full name
  • library card number
  • attached documents for printing

AAL staff will print the documents exactly as they are attached to the email.  Staff will not make changes or edits to submissions and items will not be reprinted.  Patrons will receive an email when printed materials are available for pick up.

Privacy Disclaimer:  documents submitted through email may be viewed by library staff.  If your documents contain sensitive or confidential information, please consider using our laptop services or a retail location for printing.
