Computers

Public access computers are available at each Maitland City Library branch providing access to Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher. Using the computers is free of charge but we encourage you to make a booking in advance. 

Our Conditions for use for public access computers outlines the guidelines for using computers at all branches of Maitland City Library including booking, printing, saving to disk and acceptable use.

Library staff will assist users in using Microsoft applications, printing and accessing electronic information.  Commitment to serving all Library customers may not allow extended instruction in computer use.

Users may save information to flash drives.  These may be the user’s own or a flash drive purchased from the library.  Please see our fees and charges for current pricing

Printing is charged on a per page basis. Please see our fees and charges.

Let's Get Connected

Let's Get Connected is a series of free learning sessions to begin developing your computer skills.  The sessions are delivered by Library staff with plenty of hands-on participation. 

Numbers are limited for each session so visit or phone Maitland City Library for bookings and any further information. 

Let's Get Connected learning sessions introduce key skills at an introductory level.  Small groups and a relaxed learning environment make Let's Get Connected a popular and fun experience.
