About

Beginning in Fall, 2018, Ladd Library purchased 10 Chromebooks for student check-out. Students are able to check a machine out for 3 days at a time.

To date, the laptops have been checked out 275 times with 187 renewals, for a total of 462 uses.

Purchasing additional laptops will shorten waitlists, ensuring students have access to laptops when they need them.

Let's aim higher

We have surpassed our goal in less than 3 hours - but let’s aim higher. Every additional dollar raised will fund more laptops and accessories to shorten the waitlists and keep Bates students plugged in and online, both in the classroom and in the community.
