Getting started with Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi Kit Checkout Policies:
The Raspberry Pi kits are available at every campus library. In the event one happens to be checked out, you can request a kit from a different location! Check their availability on the library website here!
To Checkout a kit: Be a current ACC Student, Faculty, or Staff member and have a valid ACC ID card!
Raspberry Pi kits have a 3-week loan period with one renewal which can be done online or in person.
When you are finished with a kit, please do not return the kit to the book drops. We'd appreciate it if you could return the kit to the main desk at any campus library just so they don't get broken!
If you have any issues with a kit let us know! We can see what's going on and help you get back to making cool things!
Disclaimer: In the event of the Raspberry Pi not being returned with the kit, you may lose kit lending privileges. This is a case-by-case scenario, if you feel like this may be an issue, please reach out to a library staff member as soon as possible.
