Tablets @ the library

Want to get your hands on some new technology? The library now has iPad Minis and Dell Venues (Android) available at every campus location!

You can check out a tablet and take it home, just like a book! Tablets are a great way to read ebooks, access Blackboard, and use hundreds of free educational apps.

Checking out a tablet is easy. Just bring your ACC ID to the library and the librarian will take you through a short setup process. More information here.
