I have been at #1 for six books on my hold list for nearly two months, and somehow none of them came in time for my vacation. Thankfully, this library had two books that I wanted. So, I drove across the city, and...they were closed due to staffing shortages, except for those with holds awaiting pickup. I almost cried. Thank you to the kind librarian who must have sensed the desperation in my voice. You saved my vacation!

Yes, it is part of the free library system and anyone can use the computers free for a half hour each day as long as he or she has a library card. Some computers, those inside the back room, can be used for an hour though I'm not sure how to reserve them.
