Hawaii State Public Library System Offers Public Computer Use by Reservation

HONOLULU -- Beginning Wednesday, June 17th, the Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS) will offer access to public computers by reservation at all library branches. Computer access is not available at the Hawaii State Library, Liliha, McCully-Moiilili locations at this time.

Re-opening access to our public computers is part of HSPLS' phased reopening of library services as Hawaii carefully begins to get back to business amid the ongoing threat of COVID-19. Our library buildings will only be open for library patrons with computer reservations as we begin to implement new protocols for ensuring that our spaces are safe and healthy for everyone.

In an effort to meet the computer needs of as many library patrons as possible, meet social distancing guidelines and ensure proper cleaning protocols are performed, HSPLS will be using a public computer reservation system:

Library patrons may reserve one 60-minute computer session per day using the library's computer reservation system on the HSPLS website (librarieshawaii.org) or by calling the library branch they would like to visit
Unreserved appointment times will be offered for walk-ups on a first come, first served basis
Library patrons are limited to a total of no more than two sessions per day

All library patrons entering the building will be required to follow basic health protocols including wearing a face covering, which covers their nose and mouth while visiting the library. The equipment and high touch areas will be cleaned after each computer session is completed.

Library Take Out services will continue to be offered at all locations except for the Liliha and McCully-Moiliili libraries. No book donations will be accepted at this time.

For more information, please visit our website at librarieshawaii.org.
