Library card holders aged fourteen and older may borrow a laptop for up to three weeks. Borrowers under eighteen need a parent or guardian to sign the lending agreement in person the first time; after that, the student may check out laptops alone. There is no charge for borrowing, and a laptop may be renewed once if no one is waiting for it. Laptops must be returned to the service desk, not to the outdoor book drop, because the drop can crack the screen. Every laptop erases all saved files as soon as it is checked back in, so save your work to a USB drive or an online account before you return it. A laptop that is still out one week after its due date is reported as lost, and the borrower's card is blocked until the laptop is returned or replaced.
