If you are a visitor to Greater Sudbury, please bring a piece of identification to obtain a one-time or temporary card that will allow you access to our public computer stations.

Temporary cards may be obtained by visitors for up to 14 days. These cards allow two hours daily of computer usage.

You may book a computer up to 3 days in advance or drop in to any location to use a computer.
