E Street Equipment Checkout
Here’s how you get started
There Are 2 Ways To Check Out Camera Gear
- 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 7 days per week.
- Complete the Borrower Agreement online: www.sonoma-library.org/estreetgetstarted
When we receive your completed agreement, we will email you a link to make a pick up 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)
- Ask questions and get help with equipment
Please email estreet@sonomalibrary.org or call (707)308-3020 if you have any questions.
- We also offer a drop-in Q&A on Mondays in the Central Forum Room from 2:30-3:30pm and a Media Maker Meetup the last Wednesday of every month from 6-7pm.
