Chromebook Kits Available

Do you need to use a laptop? Do you need Internet that you can use at home, on demand? Come check out one of our Chromebook Kits!

Chromebooks are lightweight laptops that allow you to browse the Internet, type documents, check email, use social media and more! We also include a Hotspot for Internet access that can be used anywhere. This is the perfect kit for traveling, school, and technology emergencies.

You need a library card in good standing to check out a Chromebook. Patrons under 17 must have a library card with Internet access enabled. Chromebook Kits are checked out for 7 days and you can renew them up to 2 times, if there are no holds.
