In what may be the first scheme of its kind in the country, Halesworth Library is launching a new iPad lending service to customers.
The new iPads will be available from tomorrow, Wednesday 22nd July, when the new service is launched at a special ‘Get Connected’ event at the library.
The event takes place from 10am to 1pm and will provide an opportunity for people to find out more about the iPad lending service and other online services available at the library.
The library will be lending four iPads to start with, which have been purchased with money raised by the Friends of Halesworth Library and with a helpful Hughes discount! There’ll be helpful advice, too, with staff from our Halesworth & Lowestoft stores also be on hand during the event to offer advice on the range of products available and guidance on the best product and even apps. It’s thought to be one of, if not the first, schemes of its kind operating from a public library in the UK.
The iPad lending scheme offers people the chance to borrow an iPad for three weeks. It’s an ideal opportunity for anyone thinking of buying one and to showcase the range of apps available. It can also be a great way to explore the range of online services available from Suffolk Libraries such as eBooks and free weekly music downloads.
Halesworth Library is already running popular laptop and iPad sessions on Wednesday afternoons for people who need help with their devices. If you can’t make it, pop into your local Hughes store where staff will be happy to advice you on the very best tablet for your needs.
