Computers & WiFi

Public Computers

The Library offers over 30 public computers for use free by adults, teens, or children. First come, first served access is available during open hours, with a valid Mission Viejo Library card. Filtered Internet service is available as well as standard Microsoft Office programs such as Word and Excel. Self-service printing is available for a fee.

The very youngest users (6-12 years of age) may use the computer stations in the children's department, with parental supervision. All users under the age of 18 must have parental permission to use the Internet.

Don't have a Mission Viejo Library card, but need to use a computer? Users over age 18 may inquire at our Circulation Desk about obtaining a computer use only card.

WiFi at the Library

If you have your own laptop, tablet, or smartphone, you can use the wireless network here at the library and in the City Hall complex. The public wireless network name is CMV WIFI.
 

Frequently Asked Questions about WiFi

Q: Can the library staff help me configure my computer?
A: For liability reasons, the Library staff is not available to assist you with your laptop, wireless card, or configuration.

Q: Is Internet browsing restricted in any way?
A: Yes. Software filtering is utilized to block out gambling sites, adult content sites, and sites that pose a security risk to our network. The bandwidth available for the wireless Internet connection is also shared with all others in the library. In consideration of everyone's needs, we ask that you not download large files.

Q: Is the Library's wireless connection secure?
A: The Library's wireless network is not secure. Information sent from or to your laptop can be captured by anyone else with a wireless device and the appropriate software. All communications are passed through the Internet without encryption.  Therefore we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you transmit over the wireless connection after you log in to our network.
