Library Laptop and Hotspot Loan Orientation Program

The Library Laptop and Hotspot Loan Program is made possible by the Emergency Connectivity Fund Program. This program will help provide relief to millions of patrons and will help close the Homework Gap for students who currently lack necessary Internet access or the devices to connect to classrooms.  

All eligible students, school staff and library patrons, can borrow a laptop and hotspot at a participating location while supplies last! 

To participate in this program, you must register for and attend an orientation session. During the orientation session you must be prepared to present a state ID, an active library card, and complete a loan application.  

Note: if you need a library card, visit Brooklyn Public Library - Welcome Card Application (bklynlibrary.org) to apply. 

You will also need a Gmail account. If you do not have one, do not worry, a staff member can assist you with creating an account.
