Lendable Technology

A guide to the technology you can borrow at the library

Welcome!

The High Library is excited to offer technology loans! Technology is lendable to students, faculty, and staff. Enquire at the circ desk to borrow. Bear in mind that we do charge late fines on some of our more high-use technology items (specifically, laptops, iPads, and laptop chargers). Make sure to return or renew these items before the due date to avoid fines.

Have an idea for additional items that we should lend out? Feel free to reach out to us!
