ESCANABA — The Escanaba Public Library announces the launch of an iPad check-out program, expanding access to

computing and the internet to patrons beyond the library building. With this new program, patrons are invited to

“check out a tablet computer,” just as they would check out a book or other library resource. Patrons can use these

iPads for education, entertainment, and research purposes. Adults and teens (13 or over) with a library card in good standing are eligible for the program. iPads check

out for a seven-day period and there is no fee for the service. The devices provide access to the library’s digital online

resources, as well as to select pre-loaded educational apps. The library also circulates WiFi hotspots, which

borrowers may check out with the iPad to set up an internet connection. The Escanaba Public Library is located at 400 Ludington Street in downtown Escanaba.
