[LIBRARYDIR] laptop lending

[Bem, Greg]

Not to flood the inboxes further with this thread, but I would be curious to see what kind of laptops each library is deeming appropriate for their students, based on how they anticipate the laptops being used. We used to have some netbooks in the library for check-out, but they became the obsolescence was fairly immediate thanks to Windows 10.

Everett has about 150 laptops that we rent for $20 per quarter.  A very popular program for many years now!

Hi all,

Our foundation is looking into funding laptops for checkout/lending via our library. Currently, we do have laptops but they stay in-house, and the foundation would like to lend them for a quarter.

Do any of you have programs for longer-term lending? If so, I can contact you separately with some questions.

Thanks very much!
Amy
