The library is known for cozy study spots and books galore, but did you know we also
offer equipment checkout for current students? From cameras and speakers to laptops
and hotspots, the library has the tools you need to start a new hobby or ace a class—and
it’s all free to check out.
Checking out equipment is easy: bring your UVID or government-issued ID to the Circulation Desk, and a library aide will help you through the checkout process. Most equipment can be checked out for three days, but laptops and hotspots are available for the whole semester. All equipment is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Whether you’re looking for a greenscreen backdrop or something more obscure—like a model of the digestive system or a rock collection—save some green by visiting the library. Interested in what else we offer? Read on for a rundown or visit our equipment page for a full list.
Buying a computer can be a huge expense. Luckily, the library has laptops with built-in webcams and microphones to help you tackle your classes. At the start of the semester, head to the Circulation Desk to check out a laptop. While you’re at it, you can pair a laptop with a Wi-Fi hotspot to use the internet at home or on the go. The hotspots have unlimited data, so you don’t need to worry about overage costs or data usage.
Want to start podcasting, video recording, audio mixing, or live streaming? Visit the library for audio recording equipment before buying it yourself. Whatever your project, we have the tools you need, including specialty headphones, microphones, speakers, audio interfaces, and more. Start with an electric piano or keyboard, and then finish the project with all the cables, SD cards, and USB readers you need.
Your next feature film is on us. Dabble in videography by checking out Canon video cameras, camcorders, and webcams, and create professional shots with our camera sliders and stabilizers.
Are you less of a filmmaker and more of a thrill seeker? Check out a GoPro. Pair it with our GoPro accessories—like mounts for bikes, helmets, chest harnesses, or more—then film your next adventure.
Start a hobby or hold a photo shoot with our DSLR cameras. While you’re at the Circulation Desk, don’t forget to check out a backdrop, film to digital converter, tripod, or lighting kit (with LED lights, umbrellas, reflectors, light stands, cables, and more). We even have selfie sticks, shutter remotes, and smartphone tripods.
Give your presentations a TedTalk-style flair—elevate your final projects and class assignments with tools from the library, like mics and stands, projectors and screens, and easels and podiums. Need a last-minute cable adaptor? Adaptor kits are available for check out at the Circulation Desk, along with presentation remotes, Blu-ray players, and speakers.
Explore our world with anatomy models, geology rock collections, and a Garmin GPS—then check out a telescope and let us know what you discover in space.
Need school supplies or tech? From phone chargers and flash drives to battery packs and school supply kits, we’ve got you covered. We even have rolling whiteboards, Bamboo drawing tablets, calculators, and extension cords. Next time you forget supplies at home, don’t panic—visit the Fulton Library instead.
