Reply to Laptop & Device Charging Checkout

Hi Kourtney,

I know you might have made a decision on these already but in case you haven’t I wanted to share that we have them in our basic needs center. They are very easy to use and the check out process we have in place works as we require the students to swap ID for charger. The devices hold a charge for up to 3 hours per device. Great…
