Google Chromebooks

Do you need a computer to pay your bills, do your homework, or apply for jobs? If so, Silver Falls Library now has Chromebooks available to check out.  You can use a Chromebook device to check your email, access online Library resources, browse websites, conduct research, stream music or movies, and more! 

A Chrome­book is sim­i­lar to a lap­top with Google’s Chrome oper­at­ing sys­tem. It acts as a web browser for any user. For those with Google accounts, Gmail, Drive, YouTube and other personalized accounts can be accessed by supplying one’s Google username and password. ​

In order to borrow a Library Use Only Chromebook, a library patron must be 18 years of age or older with a CCRLS (Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service) library card in good standing. Parents/guardians are responsible for the use of the Chromebook by minors.

Only one Chromebook may be borrowed on a patron’s account at any one time.
