Q. Does the library loan out laptops?

McConnell Library does not loan out laptop computers, but we do have both Mac and PC desktop computers, primarily on our 3rd, 4th and 5th floors. Other possible options include:

1) The Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) in Heth Hall does have a limited laptop loaner program for long-term check outs. Application information is available here: https://radford.campuslabs.com/engage/organization/center-for-diversity-and-inclusion.

2) Are you in the School of Teacher Education and Leadership? You may be able to check out a laptop short-term at the Teaching Resources Center in Peters.  More information can be found here: https://www.radford.edu/content/trc/home.html. 

3) The Radford Public Library offers a short-term laptop lending program and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Find out more, including how to get a RPL library card, by contacting them directly here: https://www.radfordva.gov/326/Library.

4) Montgomery Floyd Regional Library offers Wi-Fi hotspots and more information can be located here: https://bit.ly/2wNaSvk.

5) Looking for a longer term solution? Stop by the Office of Financial Aid in Heth to get more information and a form to apply to use financial aid to cover your costs of purchasing a new laptop.  More information is detailed here: https://www.radford.edu/content/financial-aid/home.html.
