Everett Public Library makes Chromebooks available to community members who need technology and internet access beyond the library walls. Chromebook computers may be checked out for three weeks. 

Chromebooks are pre-loaded with many apps to help students, job seekers, and the general public navigate online resources.

Beginning in 2025, the library is no longer able to offer hotspots for check-out.
