Library of Things

Your library card isn’t just limited to books and movies; it also gives you access to our Library of Things! Whether you need WiFi on the go, want to learn guitar, or borrow a laptop, we’ve got all the things.

All Library of Things Items are subject to our Library of Things Lending Policy.

WiFi Hotspots

Check out a mobile WiFi hotspot from the Edgartown Library. WiFi hotspots are wallet-sized devices that broadcast wireless internet in a 30-foot radius and can connect up to 10 devices. They work anywhere with Verizon coverage, so you can take it on the go.

Chromebooks

Chromebook laptops are available to check out for two-week loans or can be used at one of the library's seating areas.

Chromebooks run the Chrome operating system and use Google services such as Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Each Chromebook comes in a laptop bag with a mouse and a power cable.

To place a hold, either visit the online catalog or contact us at 508-627-4221 or email email hidden; JavaScript is required, and we'll be happy to place the hold for you.

To check out a Chromebook, patrons must be 18 years or older and have a library account in good standing.
