Loaning iPads
Posted on January 26, 2012 by Lauren
We’ve tried to be very gentle with our Ipad, but it has still suffered a broken screen when a gust of wind whipped it off the hood of a car that it had been momentarily placed on! Heartbreaking, and it cost us money and time to replace. Could all of our patrons afford the cost to replace an Ipad that was dropped, submerged, stepped on, etc? It’s always an accident, but that doesn’t replace the unit!
