Visitors to the Shadle Park branch of the Spokane Library can rent a laptop for 90 minutes from a self-serve kiosk using a library card, according to a report in The Spokesman-Review. The kiosk has 12 laptops which must remain at the library at all times.

The kiosk recharges the laptop as soon as it is returned. The laptop's history and data are erased, allowing each user to begin fresh.

The kiosk is part of an upgrade supported by the $77 million bond approved by voters in 2018.
