Extended Internet Use

Cardholders may use the internet up to four hours per day, unless others are waiting. This extended service was made possible due to our recent expansion to twenty-four internet terminals.

Not sure which electronic devices to choose for your holiday shopping list? The array of gadgets can be mind-boggling!

A PowerPoint presentation will also give an overview of devices and their capabilities.
