Patron Typewriter
Thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Park Ridge Public Library, a typewriter is available for public use in the Reader Services Department.

Guidelines

  1. The typewriter may be used by adults and students in grades 7 or higher.

  2. You must present your valid identification such as a library card or current driver's license and register at the Readers Services Desk to use the typewriter.

  3. The typewriter is available on a first come, first served basis. If the typewriter is in use, you may request that your name be added to the registration list as "waiting". It is your responsibility to be in the area when the typewriter becomes available. Staff will not look for you. Patrons are limited to two hours use per day.

  4. The typewriter is available during the following hours:

    Monday - Thursday 9:30 am - 8:30 pm
    Friday 9:30 am - 5:30 pm
    Saturday 9:30 am - 4:30 pm
    Sunday 12:30 pm - 4:30 pm

  5. Only one person may use the typewriter at one time.

  6. Occasionally the typewriter may be unavailable for reasons beyond our control. Substitute equipment will not be made available at such times.

  7. Correction ribbons and a small amount of plain white paper will be available but you are expected to provide any other necessary supplies such as envelopes, white-out, etc.

The Library has the right to restrict usage of those who cannot abide by the general regulations of the Library or the specific guidelines governing the use of the typewriter.
