E Street Equipment Checkout

Here’s how you get started

There Are 2 Ways To Check Out Camera Gear

  1. On Demand

    E Street Studios now offers a limited collection of equipment available for check out on demand at the reference desk.

    You can check out available gear 7 days a week during library open hours – without an appointment.

    Just stop by the reference desk to complete the online agreement and request your equipment. This option allows you to check out a select library of equipment anytime.

  2. By Appointment

    Complete the Borrower Agreement below.

    When we receive your completed agreement, we will email you a link to make a pickup appointment. Appointments are Mondays and Thursdays.

    This option will allow you to:

    • Access the larger camera collection
    • Use curbside pickup in the back of the library
    • Re-check out equipment (if no one is waiting to check it out)
    • Get help with equipment
