MyPC for Public Libraries
Reduce workload for busy library staff
PC booking and print management for public libraries.
Self-service computer booking for all library users
MyPC is an easy-to-use yet comprehensive solution for public libraries, ensuring fair computer usage for all users. It also frees up time for library staff and volunteers so they can focus on what’s more important, providing them with full control over how computer reservations are made.
With flexible immediate access, computers can clearly display the available time, making it easy for library patrons and guest users to securely access a PC.
Valuable computer resource insights
MyPC offers a suite of reports for analysing computer use and user booking statistics. Discover how your computer resources are really being used by tracking high and low demand times and frequent no show library users.
All of this information is extremely useful when evaluating if your existing computer provision meets demand and can help with future budget planning.
Learn what MyPC can bring to your library…
Simple booking for guest users
MyPC has unregistered users of your library covered if they wish to use a computer with flexible immediate access, together with clear displays of how long they can use the computer for.
Full integration with your LMS
MyPC can integrate with your LMS to inform users of library fines and outstanding items they may have and even ban them from reserving a computer until they have addressed the issue.
This helps to get books and loaned resources back on time for other users and reduce costs incurred in sending postal reminders. Wide support for SIP2, Web Services, ODBC, Active Directory and EntraID.
Book directly from map view
Clearly illustrate on a map view the location and availability of your bookable PCs. Users can book directly from the map view and scrolling maps can be configured to reflect multiple locations on a single large display.
Fair usage and flexibility
MyPC puts library staff in control of how long computers can be booked for, and even how many sessions in a time period can be booked by a user. For busier days with more computer demand, policies can be changed for how long users can book for at those times.
Powerful, multiple booking options
Configure the types of booking methods you wish to best suit your organisation such as:
Immediate - Start using the PC straight away.
Quick booking - Allows you to book a session in just two clicks!
Advance - Book for a required time in the future.
Queued - Join and monitor a virtual queue during busy periods.
Integrate the leading Computer Booking software
with the #1 Print Management solution
Seamless MyPC Classic and PaperCut integration
We closely collaborated with the developers of PaperCut MF to provide public libraries with an integrated print and copy management solution.
This integration ensures that the library user logged on to the computer is correctly charged for their print jobs and also enables them to utilise their LMS credentials to logon to MFDs, kiosks and value loaders, as well as the PaperCut MF portal.
Wi-Fi Printing (Supporting BYOD)
Wireless printing provision is easy to set up by utilising PaperCut driverless printing. This allows for reliable, remote printing from users own devices as well as comprehensive self-service print jobs for all library users.
Integration with Bibliotheca kiosk
PaperCut can integrate with your Bibliotheca kiosk, providing added functionality by handling all your printing payments for a smoother, hassle-free process, with far less impact on the time of your library staff.
MyPC Cloud and KUARIO MFP Kiosk
Self-service print, copy, scan for public libraries
Together with MyPC Cloud, KUARIO MFP Kiosk is available as the ultimate self-service solution for simple print, copy and scan from multifunction printers (MFPs). This provides public libraries with seamless booking and remote printing for all users.
Easy guest printing with QR scanning on MFPs
It is securely managed in the cloud and accessible from all smartphones with the KUARIO mobile app.

“MyPC gave us the solution we needed by giving customers the ability to self-book and log in without waiting for staff, and the booking sheets and MyPC maps made it easier for staff to direct users to free resources. The system was a vast improvement on our previous procedure and now it would be hard to imagine running a modern library service without it.”
