Quinebaug Valley About the QV Campus Library

Need a Laptop to Complete Coursework?

Success in a college program requires using a laptop or desktop! A smartphone, tablet, or Chromebook is not enough.

If you cannot complete your coursework because you have no laptop or because your laptop is too old to handle the necessary software, the QV Library has a FREE  laptop lending program, while supplies last. 

Once you are registered for class(es), complete the online QVCC Technology Request Form to get your name on the waiting list.  Completing the form takes just 3-5 minutes. 

If you already received a laptop for the Fall semester and would like to request a renewal for the Spring semester please follow the instructions provided on our QV Campus Library borrowed equipment handout.  You can find this handout below, or in your college email.

Computers and Printing Inside the Library

Students have access to library technology during library open hours.  This includes:

  • 20 Desktops (3 are Internet only with no print capability)
  • 2 Macs
  • 30 Overflow Desktops in the library classroom (As long as no class is currently using the room)

Unless otherwise specified all computers are capable of printing in black and white and color.  Computers have access to the Microsoft Suite in App form as well as Microsoft 365.
