We are starting in a project to replace our public computers in libraries. As part of that exercise we want to get your views on what these new computers offering should be able to do for you. If you are a user of our library PCs, please complete our online survey here – it shouldn’t take longer than 5 minutes. There is also an opportunity to volunteer to test drive the new design before we start installing it.
Please note that this is an initial information gathering exercise, so we cannot guarantee to provide everything that is requested in the survey.
