A Chromebook is a smaller, easier-to-use alternative to a Windows laptop or MacBook. Chromebooks run on the Google operating system Chrome OS. The Chromebooks on loan from the Library are designed to let you quickly and easily access the Internet, browse websites, participate in meetings and coursework using Zoom and other online tools, or create documents online using programs such as Google Docs.

The Library does its best to ensure the Chromebooks have been cleaned prior to lending but we encourage borrowers to continue to take the necessary precautions to ensure personal safety. When cleaning Chromebooks, DO NOT SPRAY any substance directly on the Chromebook. Spray a soft cloth and gently wipe the device clean.
