Only a few libraries responded that they have tried this. Those that did have not had any major issues. The libraries that have been doing this usually kept an ID to ensure the computer’s return. Several libraries are interested in the idea and these responses. It was pointed out that computer screens are hard to read in the sunlight and that it is a good idea to have a plan for rain. *Bellaire Public Library* has been doing this since they reopened for curbside pickup. They have a station in their outside entry with a plugged in laptop, and 2 chromebooks which patrons trade their driver's license for. They also offer them for checkout. They have not had a single issue. *Salem-South Lyon District Library * was loaning a laptop for parking lot use for 30 minute increments. They would take a photo ID as collateral and also did not give the patron a power adapter or a mouse. Now, the building is open so there is no longer a need. *Peter White Public Library*: considered the idea, but couldn’t come up with a suitable rain contingency. They will begin allowing appointments for in-building computer use beginning next week. *T.A Cutler Memorial Library*: wrote a grant for laptops for curbside usage. *Benton Harbor Public Library* has been taking chromebooks to the Farmer’s Market to allow people to do the Census. It worked okay except for people who don’t know how to use a computer. -- Thomas Trahey Mason County District Library Head of Circulation 231.843.8465 Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues.
