Library device loan
Borrow a Chromebook with Coventry Libraries and #CovConnects
Adult library members (16yrs+) can apply to loan Chromebook and EE dongle (if required) for up to 12 weeks for free.
Coventry Libraries are proud to provide reliable access to computers and WiFi, but sometimes you need more time and without your own equipment this can be a barrier. The device loan scheme is intended to support those that are digitally excluded due to access, ability or affordability.
Are you open to exploring a laptop for the first time? Interested in acquiring skills for email or chat usage? Seeking to boost your confidence in navigating computers? Perhaps you are applying for jobs or trying to fill out important forms on your phone?
You can apply to loan a Chromebook using the application form, call 024 7683 2314 or speak to library staff.
You will be invited to an appointment where library staff will supply the Chromebook, provide set up instructions and brief digital information based on your needs.
During the appointment you will be asked to sign the loan agreement.
The Service operates from the following libraries: Central, Bell Green, Foleshill, Stoke, Tile Hill
We would also welcome feedback and ask you to complete a returning device survey after you return the device to help demonstrate the impact of the service.
