Powerpoint. Presently we have four computer stations available
on a first come first serve basis. Patrons of other libraries who are
given permission to use the computers by library staff must do so in the
knowledge that they might be “bumped” at any time by a Hampton Library
cardholder.

that any patron with a laptop with wireless capabilities can surf the
Internet from any table in the library.

for patrons to send / receive faxes and make photocopies.
