3.          Patrons may choose from a number of games and educational programs to use on the workstations.  Some programs must have a disk inserted.  The library staff will insert and retrieve the program CDs.

4.          Use of any workstation is limited to 30-minute sessions.  If no one is waiting to use the computer, patron may sign up for another 30 minutes.  Maximum use per patron is two hours per day.
