The Topsfield Town Library makes handheld devices available for loan for library cardholders in good standing with all MVLC Libraries.
- Mobile Hotspots and Electronic Tablets are considered “Library of Things” items as listed in the library’s Borrowing Policy. They are checked out for a period of two weeks and can only be renewed on a case-by-case basis by library staff, upon request.
- Library Staff reserve the right to deny renewal of mobile hotspots and tablets to ensure access for all patrons.
- Once a Mobile Hotspot is overdue, Library Staff shall reserve the right to turn off mobile data to the device until it is returned.
- Upon returning a mobile hotspot or tablet, a patron must wait 24 hours before checking out the same item again.
- Repeated failure of returning mobile hotspots or tablets on time can result in the patron being disallowed from borrowing the devices in the future.
- These items must be returned directly to a library staff member at the Topsfield Library circulation desk.
- Patrons may be billed for replacement of the item if it is found to be damaged during checkout or may be billed for the cost of any accessories (i.e. usb cable) that are missing.
