All of our libraries offer free secure Wi-Fi for use on any mobile device and access to printing, photocopying and scanning facilities. 

Please view the council's privacy notice to use the Wi-Fi. 

Wi-Fi 

Free secure Wi-Fi all day at Wirral Libraries. For log-in details ask at the counter or refer to the instruction posters. 

Printing

Print from our computers, straight from your device using our free Wi-Fi, or send prints from the comfort of your own home.

Printing via public computers

Send your documents to print and collect them in one of two ways:

  • Pay for and collect your prints via the counter. Remember to make a note of which PC you were using
  • Using our RFID machines. If you have a library card or know your details you can access your account to pay for and release your prints direct from a computer to the printer/photocopier

If the printer/photocopier is in use please wait to release your prints to avoid them coming out in the middle of someone else’s print request.
