About Our Program

​The Laptop Lending Program is made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The purpose is to make computer access more broadly available and convenient to Gilpin County residents.

Requirements:
To borrow a laptop, patrons must meet all of the following criteria:

• Be at least 18 years old.
• Reside in Gilpin County.
• Possess a Gilpin County Public Library Card. Click here to register.
• Provide identification with proof of current address.
• Complete and sign the Laptop Lending Agreement and Waiver.

How it works:

• Patron may reserve a laptop in the catalog or inquire about availability at the Circulation Desk.
• Laptops are checked out and returned to staff at the Circulation Desk.
• The loan period for a laptop is one week.
• Laptops can be renewed up to two times if not on hold for another patron.
• Patron is fully responsible for the laptop during the checkout period, including damaged, missing, or unreturned equipment.

​About the laptops:

• Laptops are Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series.
  
• Laptops have Microsoft Office Standard applications (Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Word) installed.
• Laptops are set to restore to their original condition after every reboot. They do not save files, web history, personal information, etc.
• Patrons are recommended to save files using an external flash drive or cloud storage to prevent losing data or documents.
