Darebin Libraries provide desktop computers and laptops that you can access with your library membership. Members can use our computers free of charge. A time limit of 75 minutes applies. This can be extended where possible/when there are available computers. Computers include internet access, Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat Reader and Google Earth.
Each of our libraries also has a dedicated Accessibility Computer, designed for people who experience a disability. Find out more about the features of the accessibility computers and how to register to use them on your next visit.
You can visit a branch to use the next available computer or book up to a week in advance over the phone or at the library.

If you need more time on the computer or internet, use your library card to borrow a laptop at Northcote, Preston, Reservoir and Fairfield libraries.
Laptops are for use in the library only, and can be borrowed for up to three hours per day.
To borrow a laptop, scan your library barcode or type in your membership number at the device kiosk.
