Hundreds of Chromebook computers available to borrow for free with a Carroll County Public Library card

Free internet and computer access in your own home is now available to borrow from your local branch of the Carroll County Public Library. In November, the library system acquired, via a state grant, 225 Acer Chromebook devices, which can be checked out from libraries just like any book. The Chromebooks also provide their own internet, and Lisa Picker, the public library’s director of communications, said that can be especially helpful for families connecting multiple devices to the internet at the same time.
