NJ HealthConnect @ Memorial Library 

Picture
Memorial Library stands behind the initiative to bring equal access to health care and information to everyone.  

We have been selected to offer specially designed iPads to patrons with preloaded telemedicine apps and links to health websites, crisis hotlines, mental health support, and teen helplines.  These iPads provide updated information in many different languages and give access to Zoom/Google meeting apps for patrons to speak with qualified health professionals.

Any patron can request an iPad to use in the library with free WiFi enabled.  East Rutherford adult cardholders can also request to borrow an iPad to use from home.*


*Please note:  Internet access is required for the iPads to function fully.  Borrowers who do not have Internet access at home may also opt to borrow a mobile HotSpot as well.

Stay connected, stay well!

Policy Terms and Conditions

The East Rutherford Memorial Library circulates a NJ HealthConnect iPad preloaded with current apps and links for 24/7 access to medical information.

Eligibility: Person reserving an iPad for at-home use must be an East Rutherford resident, 18 years or older, with a valid East Rutherford Memorial Library card in good standing.

Availability: Reservations for iPads will be made on a first-come, first-served basis.   Reservations may be made up to 60 days in advance, either online, by phone, or in person at the Library.

Loan Period: iPads are checked out for a two-week period (renewable once, if no one is waiting).

Returns:  iPads must be returned to East Rutherford Memorial Library only.  iPads may NOT be returned in the Book Drop.  Returns via the book drop will result in a $5.00 fee.

Cancellation: Reservations may be canceled or rescheduled online, by telephone or in person. Please call the Library if cancelling within 24 hours of reservation date.

Late Fines: There will be a $5.00 per day charge if the iPad is returned late, up to a maximum of $50.00.  

Lost or damaged iPads: The charge for a lost/damaged iPad will be determined by the Library Director.


Internet Use
The East Rutherford Memorial Library is not responsible for information accessed using this device or for personal information shared over the Internet.  iPad users are encouraged to use safe Internet practices.  Using the iPad to access any online content determined to be illegal or obscene according to federal, state, or municipal law will result in revocation of borrowing privileges and potentially criminal prosecution.

Privacy Policy
Your internet usage is not tracked by the Library.  The Library does not have access to or collect specific usage data.  The Library does not provide patron information to the service provider.  The only data about the iPad program that the Library collects is the following is the anonymous circulation data related to checkouts of the devices



Approved by the Library Board of Trustees on March, 2022.

​

Reserve a NJ HealthConnect iPad

    Choose whether you'd like a Hotspot immediately - or as quickly as one is available - or if you'd like to reserve one for a future date.
    If you are requesting a Hotspot for a specific future date, rather than as soon as one is available, please provide the date you would like to check it out.
    Provide an email address or phone number in order for us to confirm reservation or change/cancellation.
