Questions & Answers

Are there public computers with printers available for use and do they have access to the internet?

Jon Kiefel | Oct 5, 2019

The only way you can get a guest pass is if you are from out of the area. If you are from Luzerne County, you need a library card to use the computers.

There is no public parking lot at The Osterhout Free Library, but there is meter parking in front of the library. There is also a parking lot down the street for Boscov's that can be parked in but there is a small fee to park there.

Does the library have 3d printers? I need to create a housing for a electronics project, and am trying to find the cheapest way to print the housing.

Does the library have free WiFi ?

Yes. Downstairs, the password is at the Information desk. In the computer lab (Monday and Wednesday, 5:00 to 7:30; also September through June on Saturday afternoons), the computer instructor will quickly give you the password. In the upstairs computer lab, there are no restrictions on what sites you can access on your own device. Using a library computer, you can visit any site you like unless it exposes the library to nalware (viruses). Also, the instructor is available to help with anything you like, or will leave you alone as you prefer.

does the Library have computer i can use for a child abuse course

Lavinia Gibson | Oct 5, 2019
Weavre Molina | Oct 5, 2019

YES. In the open computer lab, you can use a computer for up to 2.5 hours, even if you already used a computer downstairs. You don't even have to have a library card. The lab is open most Saturdays from 1:00 to 3:30, and most Mondays and Wednesdays 5:00 to 7:30. There's a bright yellow sign at the bottom of the stairs; when it says "Open," the lab is open. It's also OK to call the library (choose option 3 on the menu) and ask if the lab will be open the time you want to come.
