Laptop kits are now available for checkout from the Schaumburg Township District Library. Each kit contains either a 13-inch MacBook Pro or Lenovo T400 ThinkPad, with a computer bag, WiFi hotspot and mouse.

The laptops are equipped with the Microsoft Office 2016 suite of programs, Zoom and Photoshop Elements. Borrowers should save their documents and photos to the cloud or on a flashdrive, as all data will be wiped automatically after each login.

The kits may be checked out for two weeks by adults and teens who have a Schaumburg Library card and may be renewed if there are no other holds. Those who live in the library's service area but don't have a card can get one online at SchaumburgLibrary.org. Choose "Services" from the menu.

To check out a kit, go to the library's website and search "Laptop Kit" using the online catalog. Pick up is available at all three library locations in Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates and Hanover Park, but not from the outdoor lockers, as they do not fit.

All three Schaumburg Township District Library locations are now open to the public, with limited hours and capacity. Please go to SchaumburgLibrary.org for details or call the library at (847) 985-4000.
