iPads Available to Check Out
We now have two iPads that are available to check out! Each has 18 apps (including many educational games), though we've restricted web access (sadly, for security reasons you won't be able to check your e-mail). You can check out an iPad for 3 weeks (and, yes, you can renew it if no one else is on hold for it), but you must return it to a staffed desk, and it's $5 per day overdue (so remember to return it on time).- Login to comment
