Public Computers

at Stannington Library

We have 3 computers available for the public to use. Call in or phone to book a session. This is free to members of the library. Non-members can also use the computers for a small charge.

The computers all have Microsoft Office and access to the Internet, as well as other useful software. There's also some software aimed at our younger library members: Scratch, Kodu and a few other fun programs.

You can print from the computers - A4 Black & White copies cost 10p. Colour, back to back and size A3 are available too - but these cost more.

NB: We do not allow library users to print direct from their own devices. You need to use our computers. Remember to bring your password if you are printing from your email account.


Donations

We are very happy to accept donations of Books, DVDs, CDs, Video Games and Jigsaw Puzzles - if they are in good condition, so please keep us in mind when you are having a clear out. Some of the books donated are put on to our shelves. The jigsaws and some books are sold in the library. Any other donations are sold to online companies or at our pop-up shops or events. Excess donations are passed on to other charities, e.g. Books for Good Causes or Aspire.

NB: Donated books should be clean and unmarked. They should preferably have a bar code on the back, or an ISBN number inside. If you are unsure if they are suitable, please check with the front desk volunteers. Thank you.


STAND was formed in 2013 after Sheffield City Council announced its decision to close sixteen libraries (including Stannington) unless volunteers took them on. STAND was registered as a charity in 2014 and is funded by grants, donations and fund-raising activities. The library is run by a team of dedicated volunteers.
