The Tech Mobile
The Tech Mobile is another of our mobile branches! A giant vehicle the size of a large yellow school bus or RV, the Tech Mobile is loaded with all sorts of technology that’s ready to hit the road. It can serve as a mobile hotspot in the community, offer STEAM programming or computer classes, let you host a meeting in our meeting space, and much more. The Tech Mobile permanently hosts 8 computer stations, printing, wireless access, a small teaching or conference area, and an individual one-person office. It is a versatile library location for diverse programming and computer help, both inside and out.
Permanent technology on the Tech Mobile includes:
- Microsoft Surface Pro 9s with hub accessories
- Basic Dell laptops
- Laser printer
- Dremel 3D printer
- Large monitor in the meeting room
- 4 TV monitor displays in the front room
- Noise cancelling headphones
- Wifi for indoor and outdoor Tech Mobile use
…and more. We also bring other technology from the MakerLab and Innovation Lab as needed for programs and events. Sample lesson plans are available, but programs can also be customized based on your needs and interests.
