Residents can now check out HP Chromebooks and iPads from the San Jose Public Library.
The extension of the library’s tech device lending options is through the city’s SJ Access initiative, which seeks to provide residents with equitable access to all things digital, library officials said this week.
There are 600 Chromebooks, funded by the tech companies KLA and HP, and 3,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hotspots, purchased by the city, available for pickup from any Express Pickup library location.
However, the 120 iPads, funded by a grant from Apple, and 35 Dell laptops, purchased through a California Emerging Technology Fund grant, are available at select San Jose Public Library pickup locations.
