As part of the Library Renewal Project, the Library has added two study rooms for 1-4 people for the purpose of quiet study and discussion.
Please note that the rooms are not soundproof — please keep conversation to a low volume. Noise-reducing headphones may be borrowed at the circulation desk.
Submitting a reservation indicates acceptance of the Library’s Room Reservation Policies.
In addition to the study rooms, the Study Zone also includes a “laptop bar” and comfortable seating with device charging and flip up tablet desks. Just plug your device in and get to work. This area is past the circulation desk, where DVDs were previously.
The Library will be closed on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, December 23-25. We will re-open on Tuesday, December 25th at 9:00 a.m. The book drops will also be closed during this time. No late fees will be charged.
In order to expand Internet access to Durham residents, the Library has established a Wi-Fi hotspot lending program. The hotspots are provided by T-Mobile and funded by a gift from Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare and PALS: The Friends of the Durham Public Library.
No internet at home? Borrow ours for: school projects and papers, job searching online, and connecting your tablet or laptop.
On a long car trip? Have the kids in the backseat streaming movies, music or other online content.
On Vacation? Road trip, camping, or grandmas house with no internet? Bring it with you!
Loans and Holds
Hotspots are available to Durham Public Library card holders ages 18 and up with fines of less than $10.00. Patrons must present their valid Durham Public Library card at the time of checkout.
Checkouts are limited to one hotspot per household at any given time. Hotspots may be checked out for one week and cannot be renewed.
Hotspots may be reserved by placing a hold online or by calling the library. Devices will be held for two days. If the device is not picked up by the end of the second day, the hold will be cancelled and the device will move to the next person in line.
At the time of checkout, patrons must sign a Hotspot Use Agreement, acknowledging the Library’s Hotspot Use Policy.
The Library reserves the right to refuse lending to patrons who abuse equipment or who repeatedly return Hotspots late.
Hotspots must be picked up and returned at the Durham Public Library circulation desk. Hotspots must never be returned to another library or placed in the book drops.
Hotspot Use
Patrons are responsible for the proper care and use of the Wi-Fi hotspot. We recommend that patrons have a basic working knowledge of the device on checkout. If you encounter any technical problems, contact Library Director Christine Michaud at cmichaud@durhamlibrary.org or 860-349-9544, ext. 5.
The Library is not responsible for any liability, damages, or expense resulting from use or misuse of the hotspot and its connection to other electronic devices, or data loss resulting from use of the Hotspot. Any use of the device for illegal purposes, unauthorized copying of copyright-protected material in any format, or transmission of threatening, harassing, defamatory or obscene materials is strictly prohibited.
Wi-Fi service will be turned off if the hotspot is more than two days overdue, rendering the device unusable.
Loss or Damage
Overdue fines of $5 per day, to a maximum of $20, will be charged for late hotspots.
Hotspots that are two weeks or more overdue are considered lost. Patrons will be charged a $100.00 replacement fee if the hotspot is lost or damaged.
Patrons will be charged a replacement fee not to exceed $20 if a charging block or case is lost or damaged.
