One good thing to come out of our experience in dealing with the instant onset of remote learning is that we now have laptops for students to check out.

Other items that you may not know we have for you are scientific calculators. There is a wide variety of\u00a0 Texas Instrument models required for various classes. <br \/><br \/>We have many items for your recreational pleasure such as an eclectic DVD collection of over 6,000 titles that you may borrow for free. Oh, but you don\u2019t have anything to play it on? No problem. We also lend DVD &amp; BlueRay external drives. And that\u2019s not all.
