The Gates Computer Lab at the Bryan Public Library is available for organizations to use to teach
their members computer skills. The person making the reservation must have a library card in good
standing. Reservations can be made up to 3 months in advance but at least 2 weeks before the
requested use date. The lab cannot be reserved on Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations must be made in
person. We will be happy to answer questions over the telephone, but we will not confirm the date
until you sign the reservation library. Any reference librarian can make the reservation.
The lab may be booked for periods when the library is open, but patrons must be finished 30 minutes
before closing. There are 10 classroom computers and one instructor computer.
Users are not required to have a library card. The groups using the lab are expected to be not for
profit organizations, but under certain circumstances, with the approval of the Community Librarian, a
business could reserve the lab to teach their employees new techniques.
The computers must be used as they are. The Library cannot download software for the group.
Exceptions may be made for Texas State Library workshops. Groups booking the lab must provide their
own instructor. The Library will not provide support for the lab other than routine logon, setup of
projector. The patron making the reservation is responsible for the care of the equipment. The
instructor must take responsibility for patrons under the age of 18 who use the Internet.
No food or drink is allowed in the lab.
Reservations must be made in person. We will be happy to answer questions over the telephone, but we
will not confirm the date until you sign the reservation form.
