Long-Term Device Lending Program

Baltimore County Public Library has ended the application-based, Long-term Device Lending Program. Customers wishing to borrow a hotspot and Chromebook for longer than the usual 21-day loan period may request a long-term Chromebook and hotspot kit through the online catalog or at your local branch.

Long-Term Chromebook and Hotspot Kits

Search the catalog for long-term loan Chromebook and hotspot kits. Chromebooks are small laptops with WiFi capabilities that run Google's Chrome OS. Create and edit documents, access the internet and watch streaming videos using the library's Kanopy or hoopla services. A mobile hotspot allows devices, such as smartphones or laptops, to access the internet wirelessly.

This kit contains both a Chromebook and a hotspot and may be borrowed for 90 days. The kit may not be renewed. Long-term loan Chromebook and hotspot kits are available for checkout by adults only and can be requested to be picked up at the most convenient branch for you.
