Chromebooks: These are laptop computers with web
browsers. Patrons may check out a
Chromebook at the Children’s Desk.
Chromebooks MUST remain in the library.
Please check your laptop back in at the Children’s Desk. You must fill
out your name and information on the Check Out Sheet when you check out and
check in your laptop.
A
parent or guardian is required to provide either a valid ID, school ID or
library card for a child using a Chromebook or if they use it for themselves. Please note: children take priority when
checking out a Chromebook. We have
desktop computers on the Main Floor for adult use.
Chromebooks
may be used in 2-hour increments with renewals in 30-minute increments. You must come to the Children’s Desk to ask
about renewals so we may check the waitlist or make note of the renewal.
If
there is a waitlist, you may not renew your Chromebook and must check it back
in after your time is up. Please plan
your time accordingly. If there is no
waitlist, you may renew your laptop at least once in 30-minute increments.
Chromebooks
may not be reserved in advance.
These laptops are not filtered, so parents/guardians are responsible for
monitoring their child’s use. The
viewing of intimidating, hostile or sexually offensive material is prohibited
in the library. If we find a patron
viewing inappropriate material, he/she shall immediately be banned from
computer use for the remainder of that day.
If there is a second offense, that patron shall be banned for a week
from any computer use. If there is a
third offense, that patron shall be banned for at least one month from any computer
use in the library.
You
may print black and white as well as color copies off your Chromebook. We charge .10 cents per black and white page
and .50 cents for each color page.
We
will power off all Chromebooks 15 minutes prior to closing time.
If a
Chromebook is damaged beyond repair, patron is responsible for replacement
costs.
