ChromeBook

Please note that ChromeBooks are still a bit limited. Google has been working on a way to use Android apps on a ChromeBook (which would allow use of all our digital book systems). As of fall 2016 we understand the Play Store (OS update to 37.0) is now available on a few models of ChromeBook and will become available to more devices through the end of 2016 and early 2017.  See Google's current list of devices that will get this feature.
