Access to library computers during COVID-19

Important: if you want to use a computer at any of our libraries during COVID-19 you must book in advance.

To comply with social distancing requirements, we have had to reduce the number of computers usually available and limit the use to one hour per day.

The following time slots are available during our reduced opening hours. Bookings can be made up to 7 days in advance - see how to book.

Printing

Printing is available at all of our libraries, as well as scanning documents and photocopying. You will need a library card which you need to activate first on the printing devices.

If you have supplied an email at registration, you can also use our new email to print facility without the need of using one of the public computers and securely collect your prints at any branch.

To use the email to print, simply attach your file and send from your registered email to:

  • Black and white print: librarymonoprinting@haringey.gov.uk
  • Colour printing: librarycolourprinting@haringey.gov.uk

Please ensure you have enough credit on your account before sending to print. An email will be sent back to confirm when files are ready to be collected. You will need to swipe your card, so please make sure you have it with you when you collect your print files. 

You can speak to a member of staff if you need further guidance.


Free computer training for beginners

First Byte computer sessions

Due to COVID-19, we are currently unable to offer our free weekly computer sessions for total beginners in any of Haringey libraries. Please visit the First Byte sessions page for more information and updates.
