Chromebooks
|
|
|
Need a computer? The Library now has a collection of Chromebooks that can be checked out for two-week loans! A Chromebook is a simple laptop computer that lets you browse the internet, participate in web conferences/video meetings, do word processing, and more – all you need is a WiFi connection. Chromebooks can be checked out from all three Brookline Library locations and must be returned to their owning location. You can request a Chromebook through our catalog.
