Where can I borrow a laptop?

Answer

The laptops are moving!  For the fall 2024 semester, we'll be moving the laptops from the lobby kiosks to 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.
