In addition to Windows desktop computers, the library has a scanner and a copier. Students can borrow Windows and Mac laptops, headphones, scientific and graphing calculators, and phone and laptop chargers. All you need is your Ranger Card or another photo ID. The library does not have a fax machine.

Borrowing Laptops

We have a limited number of PC and Mac laptops available for Parkside students to borrow. You must sign an agreement accepting responsibility for any loss or damage to the laptop and for costs associated with repair or replacement.

You may not reserve a laptop ahead of time. Laptops are due in eight hours or one hour before the library closes, whichever comes first.

If you return a laptop late, you will owe $5/hour, with a maximum total fine of $100. If you lose or steal a laptop, we will charge you for its cost.

Selected AV equipment is available from the CTS Tech Bar.
