Both Internet/Catalogue computers are available for use during open hours. When the library is busy, please keep your computer use to 15 minutes if possible; your understanding is appreciated.

WIFI is available inside and outside of the branch from approx. 7am to 10pm daily.

Printing services (colour printing is not available) - cost is 25cents per page. 

Fax Services

We do not have a Fax machine available in the Falkland library; and there does not appear to be any available for public use within the community. If this service is requested by a business/organization; you should contact them to see if the requested materials can be scanned and emailed. Library staff are happy to assist you with this alternative.

Seating

Please feel free to grab a chair and read a book, flip through a magazine, or perhaps work on a craft project. We have chairs and tables available and often there are some craft supplies ready to go!

What's New/ What's Happening in our Library?

We are finally able to offer all of our regular services (albeit with some limitations/changes.) A big Thank You to ORL Staff and of course our wonderful patrons who dealt with these changes so wonderfully. We truly appreciate your concern and cooperation during these difficult times.
