Laptop Checkout

The Mary and Jeff Bell Library is pleased to announce the arrival of our new laptop checkout kiosks!

Students can checkout laptops during library hours for in library use, three hours at a time. There are two kiosks, one on each floor of the library. The first floor kiosk is located to the left of the library entrance, by the copy machine. The second floor kiosk is located along the wall outside of the Immersive Reality Lab.
