Technology & Scanners

Computers and the Internet

The Clermont County Public Library provides access to Internet-connected computers at all 10 branches. The computers have software programs such as Microsoft Office and educational games. To ensure a computer is available when you need it, call the branch you’ll be visiting to make a reservation.

All branches offer one-on-one computer instruction during regular hours. Call your branch or use this form to schedule an appointment. You can request help with Microsoft Office, email, eReaders or the Internet.

All branches have at least one AWE Ready to Read Computer with educational software to promote early literacy skills at a child-sized workstation.

Pocket Wi-Fi

The Clermont County Public Library now can help you be better connected to the Internet.

The Library has mobile Wi-Fi devices that can be borrowed for seven days at a time. For more information, see the Acceptable Use Procedures. Visit our catalog to place a hold on a device.

A Pocket WiFi can be borrowed for a week at a time starting May 26. This device is a small router that uses 3G and 4G signals to create mobile connections to the Internet. Tech support will be provided by the manufacturer.

“We are happy to provide this service. It will serve patrons who have no Internet at home or have poor service. It can help patrons who need a mobile hotspot away from home,” said Christine Wick, library director. “Library staff members constantly look for new ways to provide innovative services to the community that will enhance the lives of patrons. This is another service we believe meets that goal.”

The library will continue to offer free WiFi and public computers inside each branch.

Search for Pocket WiFi in the library’s catalog and place a hold.

Mobile printing

The Clermont County Public Library now offers two mobile printing options that guests can access using their smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Remote printing with the Mobile Print App

The Amelia, Bethel, Goshen, Miami Township, and Union Township Libraries offer REMOTE printing. This option allows guests to use an app called PrinterOn or the “Mobile Print” button on the branch’s web page to print a document in either color or black and white. The document can contain multiple pages. The cost is the same as using the Library’s regular printer – 10 cents for black and white and 30 cents for color per page.

The PrinterOn app is available free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. To use the “Mobile Print” button, visit clermontlibrary.org and click Locations.

Guests using the app or the “Mobile Print” button can send their document(s) from anywhere and pick it up at the Library during regular operating hours. Guests will pay for the print at the Library.

To avoid being charged for a color copy when the document is black and white, Library guests using the PrinterOn app should choose the black and white printer. Also, touch the Locations icon on the bottom of the PrinterOn screen to locate the library where you want to print a document.

On-site mobile printing

The Batavia, Felicity, New Richmond, Owensville, and Williamsburg Libraries offer a different mobile printing option. Guests can email a document(s) to their local branch and have the request completed once they arrive during regular operating hours and pay for the printing. Copies are 10 cents for each black and white page and 30 cents for each color page.

Please use the emails assigned to the branch where you want to pick up your document:
