Technology Lending
 

 

Madera County Library offers a variety of technological devices for patron use, from mobile internet providing devices like Hotspots and SmartSpots to devices like Chromebooks, iPads, and more to come!

Policy:
The Madera County Library lends technology to Madera County Library Card holders ages 18 or above, in good standing (no fines or overdue items and no history of a delinquent account) with government-issued photo identification. Checkouts are limited to one (1) mobile internet providing device and/or accompanying internet accessing device per household (Household – a family or occupants residing at the same address). If qualified, patrons will be put on a waitlist and notified via phone call. After a phone call has been attempted, the patron has 48 hours to check-out the Hotspot or Kit before being removed from the waitlist. Check-out must take place at least 1 hour before the library closes to allow enough time for staff to go over rules and conduct an inspection before releasing the device to the borrower.
