Services and Policies

Cell phones
In an effort to maintain a quiet and pleasant environment, the library requests that patrons turn off all cell phones upon entering the building. Anyone needing to make or take a call while at the Library may step outside or use the lobby area.

Computers
You are invited to explore the library's free wireless Internet access using your own wireless-enabled laptop computer. Simply launch your Web browser. Your computer's home page will appear and you may begin surfing immediately
We also offer eight computers for public use, four for adults and four for children. Patrons may sign up at the desk to use the computers for one hour periods. If no one is waiting, the one hour period may be extended. Computer printouts are 10¢ a copy for black and white or 25¢ a copy for color. Patrons may bring personal laptops and utilize the library's wireless access tio the Internet.

Copy machine
A copy machine is available to the public. Fees are from 10¢ to 25¢ at a per page cost depending on size.

Homebound delivery service
Essex residents who are unable to leave their homes may arrange for pick up and delivery of library materials by simply calling the library and requesting this service.

Volunteers
Volunteers play a very important role in the operation of the Essex Library. Among the many tasks they perform are: shelving of books and materials, helping prepare materials to go one the shelves, reading and organizing shelves, special projects, and assisting with special library events (hosting, baking for programs, book sales, etc.) The library is greatly indebted to its hundreds of volunteer "family members".
