"Being able to check-out chargers here can be a real life-saver, especially when your charger dies and you're in between paychecks or are waiting for the replacement to come in the mail." "There needs to be an iphone 5/6 charger also." "It’s great to be able to check out chargers when you have forgotten yours!" "The chargers are my favorite and have saved my life so many times!!!" "May we have the new Mac chargers?" "The one time I forgot my laptop charger, the library did not have one to fit my laptop. I don't have anything out of the ordinary, just an older version (2011) HP. "There is not a laptop charger available for the newest & most widely used macbook- which I think there should be." "I needed a charger for my laptop and [the library] did not have the right one." "I wish that you could take chargers outside of the library. I know that is difficult when we have so few and because people would monopolize them but we could look into acquiring more and having a certain amount of time per week/month/semester that one could check these materials out and take them outside of the library." "Needs to be more than 1 laptop charger at front desk."
We love that you love our charger service, and have suggestions for making our service even better. We are ready to charge you up!
MacBook and iPhone 5 & 6 users: We have you covered! All “L” charging cords are available at the circulation desk. We purchased magnetic adaptor units that allow our former “L” charging cords to charge the latest models.
Android smartphone users: We continue to have micro-USB power banks available!
PC laptop users: With the wide variety of PC laptops that are available on the market, often with separate chargers from one another, we cannot guarantee that we will have your particular model, however we endeavor to keep our options up-to-date. If you find we do not have your particular model of PC’s charger, please contact Karen Ryan at ryankj@hollins.edu and let her know of your laptop’s make and model.
In response to the request for out-of-library use of the chargers, we want to maintain our in-library-use policy for now to ensure that the chargers are available to everybody who needs one in the library.
