ABOUT CHROMEBOOKS
• Chromebooks are different than
other laptops. Instead of programs,
Chromebooks use apps.
• The loan period is three weeks.
The Chromebook will be disabled
when overdue. Please do not return
through book drop.
USING THE CHROMEBOOK
• Closing an app or browser will end a session. Before closing or ending a session,
save your work to Google Cloud or a flash drive. Otherwise, you may lose your work.
Save your work early and often!
• When you are ready to return your Chromebook to the Library, make sure
to Exit Session or Sign Out.
• To use a Chromebook to its full potential you will need a Google (Gmail) account.
A Google account will allow you to download apps and save files easier. Page 3 will
show you how to use the Chromebook with your Google account. If you don’t have, or
don’t want to use a Google account, Page 4 will show you how to login as an
Everett Public Library Guest and sign up for a Google account if interested.
