Devices & Kits

• Reserve a kit up to 60 days in advance through our website, or by asking staff at the children’s services desk, or by telephone.
•  If you need to cancel or change your reservation, please call the children’s services desk as soon as possible so other patrons may have the opportunity to check out the kit.
• Failure to pick up the kit at the reserved time will result in the reservation being canceled and the kit being given to the next person in line.
•  Patrons who have reserved and not picked up a kit after two occurrences will be unable to borrow any device for 6 months.

Borrowing
