Where can I borrow a laptop?

Answer

Laptops are available at the Circulation desk.  Please stop by the desk to borrow one.  PC (Dell) and Mac laptops are available for a 7 day loan and can be renewed twice via your library account. They are on a first come, first served basis.  The laptops will come with a charging cable and laptop bag.

Remember that you need to save work on a USB drive or the cloud as the laptops are programmed to erase all saved work when shut down and will automatically reboot once a day. 

Laptops come equipped with the following software:

  • Microsoft Office
  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Zoom
  • Adobe Reader
  • Mathematica
  • JMP
  • Matlab
  • STATA

Patrons will incur a $5.00 per day late fee and will be charged a $2,000 replacement fee for lost or damaged laptops.

The laptop lending program is a joint effort by Skidmore SGA, Lucy Scribner Library, and IT.
