Enfield libraries provide self-service public access to the Internet and Microsoft software applications (Word, Power Point, Excel, Access and Publisher). PC use is free for the first 60 minutes each day.
Using our computers also gives you access to printing facilities (charges may apply) as well as access to all our electronic resources, some of which are accessible from home with library membership.
We also provide free access to document scanners.
Free Wi-Fi is available in all our libraries where you are welcome to use personal laptops and other mobile devices.
