Laptop and Hotspot Loan for your Job Search
Is your job search impacted by a lack of technology?
The Business & Career Center has Chromebooks and hotspots to loan, made possible by the Emergency Connectivity Fund Program.
The loan program is to help those who lack the necessary Internet access or devices to conduct a job search, apply for jobs, and attend virtual interviews.
To participate, please register to attend this orientation. During the orientation session you must be prepared to present a state ID, an active library card, and complete a loan application. If you need a Brooklyn Public Library card, apply here.
You will also need a Gmail account. If you don't have a Gmal account, a staff member can assist you with creating an account.
All borrowers must meet the following requirements:
- Need strong internet service at home
- Need an electronic device for your job search at home
- Have a valid Identification Card and be at least 18 years old or an emancipated minor
- Register and attend this orientation session
- Agree to participate in surveys and other evaluations that will help BPL determine the merits of the program
- Agree to the program conditions listed on the loan application
- All eligible library patrons can borrow a laptop and hotspot at the Business & Career Center while supplies last!
BPL’s Business & Career Center is generously supported by Dime Community Bank, Lead Funder of the PowerUP! Business Plan Competition, Dr. Beverly S. Jacobs, Ridgewood Savings Bank, and Reference Solutions.
