Here’s what you need to know about borrowing a Launchpad:

• Launchpads are available for checkout only on adult library cards, so borrowers must be at least 17 years old
• The Launchpad tablet can be borrowed for a maximum of two weeks, with no option for renewal
• The device includes charging equipment (block and cable) and both must be returned with the tablet and case
• Launchpads are limited to one per borrower.

Please be aware that while there is no formal user agreement, these devices are more costly than a typical book. Although Launchpads are designed for young children, they remain electronic devices with some sensitive components.
