Hi, we have public PC's with a reservation system in our Multnomah County Libraries and also offer Chromebooks for in-library use only, for two hours. Patrons have the option of checking out a mouse and headphones with the Chromebook. They have to sign up (sign a form) and show i.d. in addition to showing their library card to get a Chromebook. They are responsible for getting it back to us in time and there are fines if they don't check it back in within two hours. The Chromebooks are mostly used for web browsing. Printing is not currently possible from a Chromebook but I understand that functionality will be added to our system eventually. People like the Chromebooks. It allows them to use a computer at whatever table they want to in the library, not just in our PC computer area. People like that. The PC's are still important to patrons and heavily used, as you can work on a much wider variety of documents on a PC.<div>
