Borrow a Chromebook and a Hotspot
These days many people rely solely on their phones and their cellular networks to do their online business. This creates problems if you have limited data or if you need to write something more complicated than an email or a text. One solution is to come to the Library to use our public internet computers.Now we have another option. Borrow a Chromebook and a mobile hotspot. We have two of each. You can check them out for three weeks. See the Librarian at the Information Desk. While we don’t have a printer to lend you, you can send print jobs to the Library using our Remote and Mobile Printing service.

Censorship Divides Us’ mug (filled with candy courtesy of our Teen Librarian, Kim Larsen). Click on Read more to see the winning entries. Read more…
