Self-Serve Laptop Kiosks (Doon & DTK Campuses)

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. Kiosk laptop availability is first-come, first-serve and can be borrowed for up to 4 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.
