The Plum Creek Library System (PCLS) makes portable technology devices available to check out from member libraries for use by adult library users. The devices are made available to support the informational, recreational, and educational needs of the library users in the PCLS region.
Portable technology devices, such as Chromebooks, digital recorders, and video equipment available for loan to full privilege adult library card holders that are in good standing. Adults can check out portable devices for supervised use by minors.
The responsible adult agrees to assume any and all liability for the repair or replacement of PCLS devices in the event of loss, damage, negligence, or misuse. PCLS will not assume responsibility for lost files due to viruses, hardware malfunctions, and network interruptions.
Library users checking out devices with internet access must abide by the Internet Use Pliciy for the library from which devices are checked out. PCLS owned equipment with internet access is filtered in compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) enacted by the United States Congress in 2000.
