Library locations at the Doon and Downtown Kitchener Campuses are piloting self-serve laptop lending kiosks to enhance and extend access beyond staffed service hours.

Our laptops have general productivity software and are intended for emergency use, not as a replacement or substitute for your program's recommended device.
