One of the goals of our CoLabs is to increase collaboration between individuals and small groups, both virtually and in the Library building. In that very same spirit, the Library now has two reservable CoLab Laptops.
The CoLab Laptops create a CoLab on the Go. The Laptops can be used during a CoLab reservation or separately inside the Library building.
Please note: If you hope to use a CoLab Laptop during your CoLab reservation, make sure to fill out a reservation form for each separately. Reserving one does not reserve the other.
Reservation Limits
- 1 reservation per day
- Up to 2 reservations per week
- Up to 3 hours per reservation
Laptop Usage
CoLab Laptops are set up in the same way a public computer is set up. Patrons must have a valid Cafe Library Card to log in to the Laptop.
When a session is ended, the CoLab laptop will reset and delete all personal data from the previous session.
