Installing libraries in python is done using [[https://pypi.org/project/pip/ pip]]. IT would need to install the latest version of pip on a staff member's workstation and grant root to the workstation in order to install packages. Packages are install through command line in linux. Ask IT for the command to install as it may change for the version of python that is installed. For python 3.6 it was sudo pip3.6 install library_name.
