  • To renew your Chromebook, bring it to the front desk. If we are running low on Chromebooks (<5), please wait 24 hours before checking out again to give everyone a chance to use them.

  • Never leave library equipment in an enclosed car or exposed to direct sunlight, as this may damage the equipment, and you could be assessed a repair/replacement charge up to the full cost of the damaged equipment.

FAQs

What about my personal data (passwords, email, etc.)?

The safest action is to remove any personal information from the device before you return it. Remember to sign out of the Chromebook before returning it, and delete any images or files on the camera and camcorders. The Library is not responsible for anything you put or leave on our equipment.

How long can I keep a digital device?

Loan periods vary by item. Chromebooks are 1 week, and most other devices will be either 3 days or 3 hours. Search for the device you’re interested in using the library’s catalog.

How can I find out if a device is available?

Search for the item in the library’s catalog. You will see the item’s availability there.
