Carrollton now offers iPads to use at the library

The Carrollton Public Library, through a donation from the Friends of The Carrollton Public Library, have instituted a pilot program to have iPads available for in-house check-out for up to four hours.  The program allows patrons to borrow an iPad in-house, use it with the free WiFi provided, become technologically savvy and experience an iPad.

This program will allow Library patrons to utilize the many digital offerings at the Library, including the Library catalog, Library research apps and the ability to search for online information, all from a comfortable chair in the Library and without being bound to a Library desktop computer. iPads will be available at both Carrollton Public Library locations:  Carrollton Public Library at Hebron and Josey (4220 N. Josey Lane) and the Carrollton Public Library at Josey Ranch Lake (1700 Keller Springs Road).

To utilize the in-house iPad checkout system, you must be an adult over the age of 18 that is living in Carrollton, have a valid Library card older than six months, and a valid Texas driver’s license with current Carrollton address or government-issued identification.

For more information, stop by either Library location, call 972-466-4800 or visit http://innovative.cityofcarrollton.com/screens/library_iPads.html online.
