The Library will deliver books to any Barrington resident who is unable to come to the Library due to illness or lack of transportation. We do ask that patrons look to family and friends first as a way to meet this need, but we are happy to deliver if alternate methods can not be found. Simply call 603-664-0193 and ask for the Director to set up a card and delivery schedule.
We have computer access at the Library! All access is free to the public. There is a 1-hour time limit on public PCs (unlimited time for wireless access on your own device). Time may be extended if no other patrons are waiting to use a computer terminal. Please let a member of the staff know if you are in need of more time or general computer assistance.
The Barrington Public Library currently offers free Intenet access in a variety of ways.
Patrons may come in to the Library and access online material at one of the workstations that the Library provides and maintains. These workstations run on a system that erases all history once the patron logs out. Any work done by the patron is not saved. Work that the patron wants to preserve and save must be saved to a standalone device (e.g., a thumb drive) or saved to a patron's online account. This is done to protect patron privacy.
Patrons using Library workstations are asked to limit their time to one hour blocks, although time may be extended if there are no patrons waiting for access.
Patrons may also bring in their own devices and log in to the Library's wireless network (WiFi). Patrons using this method will be asked to read and agree to terms and conditions before accessing online services.
The name of our WiFi network for Patrons is Barrington Public Library. Once you choose that network, a window will pop up and ask you to agree to terms.
