Easy Setup

On the day of your meeting, a TV remote and an HDMI cable, along with an easy “How-to” instruction card will be in the meeting room.

The Smart TVs are easy to use-- simply connect your laptop to the TV using the HDMI cable provided.  The TVs also provide a more comfortable viewing experience; keep the room lights on as the TV’s performance is not affected by any ambient light.

If you have any questions please contact roomrentals@whitbylibrary.ca or 905 668-6531 x. 2024.
