How to log on

You don’t need a WBPL account to use our desktop computers!

If you have a library card, you can use the “patron ID” located with the barcode on the back of your card.  See the instructions for accessing your account.

If you don’t have a card, ask library staff for a guest pass.

For help logging on and using the computers, please ask at the library front desk.
