Laptops are available for patron use in the library, during regular library hours only. 

Laptops were purchased with a grant from the Washington State library to provide patron access to the internet from a computer laptop with MS Office Suite to help close the digital divide.

The laptops will allow patrons to complete tasks that require internet access such as completion of school assignments; looking for and applying for jobs, assistance, and housing; connecting with others via videoconferencing; accessing consumer health information, downloading e-books, e-magazines, audiobooks, and other generic uses of the internet. Patrons may then save computer files to their email address, a flash drive or other memory device.

A laptop borrower must be at least 18 years of age, with a Cathlamet Public Library account in good standing. They must agree to assume liability for cost, repair, or replacement of the laptop if damaged, and return the device and all accessories to the circulation desk prior to closing time. 


 

Call the library for availability information at (360)-795-3254, Wednesday 9am-3pm Thursday 2-5pm Friday 11am-2pm, or Saturday from 2-5pm.
