The Gates Computer Lab at the Bryan Public Library is available for organizations to use to teach their members
computer skills. The person making the reservation must have a library card in good standing. Reservations can be
made up to 3 months in advance but at least 2 weeks before the requested use date. The lab cannot be reserved on
Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations must be made in person. We will be happy to answer questions over the telephone,
but we will not confirm the date until you sign the reservation form. Any Youth Services librarian can make the
reservation.
The lab may be booked for periods when the library is open, but patrons must be finished 30 minutes before closing.
There are 10 classroom computers and one instructor computer.
Users are not required to have a library card. The groups using the lab are expected to be not for profit
organizations, but under certain circumstances, with the approval of the Community Librarian, a business could reserve
the lab to teach their employees new techniques.
The computers must be used as they are. The Library cannot download software for the group. Exceptions may be made
for Texas State Library workshops. Groups booking the lab must provide their own instructor. The Library will not
provide support for the lab other than routine logon, setup of projector. The patron making the reservation is
responsible for the care of the equipment. The instructor must take responsibility for patrons under the age of 18 who
use the Internet.
No food or drink is allowed in the lab.
Reservations must be made in person. We will be happy to answer questions over the telephone, but we will not confirm
the date until you sign the reservation form.
