Laptop, Hotspot and Equipment Support

Laptops and Hotspots

Need a laptop or hotspot? The Gavilan Library has a limited supply for you to check out! Here is what you can do:

1. If you are part of a program (EOPS, Non-Credit, CTE, El Centro, AEC, etc.) check with them to see if you can get  laptop through them. You might get one faster with a program!
2. Fill out our Laptop Hotspot Request form and get on that list.
3. Check your email for communication from the library about availability and status of your request.
4. Once you have received communication to pick up items, come see us in the library to checkout your items!
5. Continue to check your email for notifications about how to renew, due dates, etc.
