iPad Mounts
by Emily Hudak 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Hello, I'm looking into purchasing some new holders for the iPads we have available for patron use in the Youth Services area of our library. I'm wondering if anyone is using the Space iPad Flex iPad mount (https://www.maclocks.com/ipad-enclosure-ipad-mount-ipad-kiosk/space-flex-ip…) or something similar with a flexible neck and locking enclosure. I haven't been able to find reviews online, and am hoping that someone in the library world has tested this (or a similar) mount. Please reply off list to my email, hudakemi(a)btpl.org<mailto:hudakemi@btpl.org>. Thanks in advance! Emily Hudak Youth Services Librarian Bloomfield Township Public Library 248-642-5800 ext. 183
