Tablets & Mobile WiFi Hotspots

BCLS offers tablets pre-loaded with essential apps for video conferencing, online school and job hunting, Microsoft Office and Google Drive, as well as many library resources like Udemy, Pronunciator as well as our digital catalog. If you also need to connect to the internet make sure to request a Mobile WiFi Hotspot, or you can check out a tablet kit and hotspot together for a complete experience, no extra tech necessary. This program is made possible by a FY2020 CARES Act Grant for Museum and Libraries from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
