A new agreement will need to be signed annually or when revisions are made to this agreement.

Agreement:
I understand that by borrowing a laptop computer from the Security Public Library (SPL) I am responsible for the computer and all accessories. I will reimburse SPL for any damages if the laptop, accessories, or any software installed thereon is damaged, lost, or stolen while checked out to me. I must have had my SPL library card for at least 60 days and my account must be in good standing.

Eligibility of the Borrower:
1. Borrower must be 18 years of age or older and have a SPL patron card in good standing (no fines/fees on account) and have had a SPL library card for at least 60 days. Borrower must leave a photo ID at the circulation desk to check out a laptop; ID will be returned at the time of laptop check-in.
2. Borrower understands the laptop loans are for in-library use only, and cannot be removed from the library building.
3. Borrower must have sufficient knowledge to operate the computer including knowledge of:
How to start and shut down the computer.
How to access the Internet and other programs.
How to save files with a flash drive (not provided).

Obligations of Borrower:
1. I understand that laptops are loaned for in-library use only and are not to be taken from the library.
2. I agree that I will not alter any settings or configurations on the laptop.
3. I understand that the library reserves the right to restrict or terminate my computer use privileges if I misuse or abuse library equipment or do not act in accordance to library policy.
4. I will not leave the laptop unattended.
5. I understand that laptops may be checked out for 2 hours per day.
6. Laptops are available for check out by adults over 18 years of age who have had a card for 60 days. Patrons who do not have a SPL patron card in good standing (no fines/fees on account) will not be able to check out a laptop.

10. I understand that I must save to a removable storage device since any work will not be saved to the laptop.
11. I understand that the library wireless connections are not secure, and I will take appropriate caution with personal information while using a library computer.

13. Audio must be played through a headphone set.

Liability of Borrower:
1. Borrower accepts full responsibility for the laptop computer and accessories.
2. Borrower will reimburse SPL for the cost of repairing or replacing this laptop and/or its accessories if they are damaged, lost, or stolen while checked out.
3. I understand that when the loan period has elapsed I must return the laptop to a staff person. Until the laptop has been returned to a staff member and is checked in, it is my responsibility.
4. I understand that overdue fines accrue at $5.00 for every hour, or portion thereof, if the laptop is returned late. I understand that I will be charged a fine plus lose laptop borrowing privileges for one week. If not returned by closing time, the laptop will be considered lost and I will be responsible for a replacement fee of $1,000.
