if those PCs are only for OPAC, the best idea is not to work on Koha 
but to work on PCs.

You need to build a 'Kiosk Pc' and setup a timed reset for the browser.
See on google to find how to build a 'Kiosk Pc' (I suggest Linux as 
OS but it is a you choice).
As default url of the browser insert the logout link , http://<your 
site>/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl?logout.x=1>.

So, with every browser reset, you have also a logout.

Bye
