The Crookston Public Library is introducing a service perfect for those wishing to bring both technology and wireless Internet connectivity outside the library and to community members’ homes. The Crookston Public Library is now offering the option to borrow a laptop kit containing a Chromebook laptop computer and a wireless Internet hotspot.
“The laptop kits are a great resource for everyone,” said Chris Boike, director of the Crookston Public Library. “However, they are exceptionally helpful for job seekers and those wishing to use technology to advance their careers. We’re also confident that these laptop kits can connect individuals with educational and housing resources. The possibilities are endless!”
Laptop kits, which are available free of charge, can be reserved by visiting larl.org/chromebooks and can be picked up at the Crookston Public Library. Kits can be borrowed for 14 days and include a Chromebook laptop, wireless Internet hotspot, mouse, and getting started guides. Laptop kits are provided in part thanks to funding from the CARES Act. The Crookston Public Library also offers access to a number of public computers that can be used in the library, as well as faxing, scanning and printing services.
