Lockers
Now your items can be ready for pickup whenever you are. Held items available for pickup at the Malletts Creek and Pittsfield Branches can be placed in lockers for after hours pickup. Simply follow the link in your hold notice email or at the bottom of your Requests and Holds list on the My Account page. Items will be placed in lockers outside of the building and will remain available for pickup there until the opening of the library the next day. Items that are not picked up by opening the next day (opening is at 9 AM except on Sunday when it is noon) will be checked in and sent to the next person on the request list. It will be necessary to start over with a new request to receive the item at another time.
Public Computers
The AADL has public-access Internet computers available for use by both cardholders and non-cardholders at all five locations. Non-cardholders must present a photo ID. Each station has USB ports and headphone jacks - AADL does not provide USB drives or headphones, but these items are available for purchase at the circulation desks. Black and white printing is available at all locations for a cost of $0.10 per page. JAWS screen reading software is available on all public computers. In addition, you may borrow a Giant Trackball Mouse from the desk at any AADL location. The large ball in the center of the Giant Trackball Mouse requires less fine motor control than a standard mouse, making it easier for some users to use.
