The Digital Navigator Project at WCL aims to deliver comprehensive and personal digital literacy training and support to residents of Whitman County. If you find yourself needing help to learn how to use a computer, how to type in word processing software, how to set up a new device, or anything else, you’ve come to the right place! Every library in the WCL system can act as a source of digital navigation for you, so get in touch with us today! We are pleased to partner with Pullman Marketing to help provide high quality and responsive service for this project.

This is an ongoing project and this page will be updated with new information, content, and more as the project progresses. Please check back often to see what’s new, or ask at your local WCL branch!

Laptop Giveaway: Apply Now!

WCL is accepting laptop giveaway applications from Feb. 1- March 31. Download an application here and drop it off at any of our branches, or stop by a branch and fill one out today!

Each branch of WCL has 19 laptops to give away. Each laptop will include one year of Microsoft 365 (includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more).

In order to be considered for a laptop, you must submit a physical application to any of our branches. You can download a copy or visit any WCL branch to get an application. Applications will be accepted from Feb. 1-March 31. You do not need to bring in any other documentation other than the application.

Submitting an application does not guarantee you a laptop. Laptop recipients will be determined based on their perceived need according to the information provided on the application.

You must be 18 years old to submit an application and be eligible. If you are under 18 but in need of a laptop, please contact Cody.

Only one laptop will be given away per household.

Only those living in Whitman County outside of Pullman are eligible to receive a laptop. Patrons with a Pullman address or who live outside of Whitman County are not eligible.

Once the application period has ended on March 31, the applications will be collected and recipients will be chosen. We plan on beginning laptop dispersal in late April, but this date is subject to change. Check this page for the most current information and timeline.
