Chromebooks: Brought to you by a generous grant from Senator Richard Durbin’s office, these devices are available for 28-day checkout periods. Wherever you have access to WiFi, you will be able to access Brightspace, online course materials, library databases, and the Google Drive office suite. You can also access your Zoom courses, but must first download the free Zoom for Chromebook app from Google Play. If you need a Chromebook beyond the 28-day period, you can simply renew your checkout in the library. If not, return it and the library staff will do a factory reset to protect your privacy. For more information, please read the Chromebook Policy & User Agreement.
Calculators: The Library has a collection of graphing and scientific calculators that can be checked out for one day (24 hours). To find out what's available, visit our Circulation Desk.
Chargers: We offer a selection of iPhone and Android phone chargers. These are available for in-library use for two (2) hours and can be requested at the Circulation Desk.
The final due date for books checked out this semester is Friday, July 26. To avoid a fine that will result in a block on your student account, please return all library books inside the library or in the book drop outside the library's entrance by this date. We appreciate your cooperation.
