Howell Library is able to once again offer laptop check outs during the Fall 2025 semester. Laptops may be checked out starting August 13, 2025. Laptops will be checked out for a period of three (3) weeks. No additional software can be installed on the laptops. The library can only offer in person device renewals. Please note you will need to complete the Fall 2025 device agreement form even if you have already completed a device agreement form from a previous semester. Howell Library on the Southern Wake Campus is no longer able to offer hotspot check outs.

Howell Library supports the students, staff, and faculty of the Southern Wake Campus. We provide information resources, technology, research assistance, and much more. 

Howell Library is located on the 100 level (enter from the courtyard) of Building D.  To enter the library, please make sure you have your student or faculty/ staff Wake Tech ID card.

If you are a new student and do not yet have a student ID or are a returning student and have lost your student ID, you may visit Building A (also known as Holding Hall) Room 102 to have an ID made. Please confirm their hours of operation on this page (opens in new window) before visiting in person.

Wake Tech ITS and Library Services are pleased to announce a new pilot program for students, faculty, and staff to check out laptops for use while on campus.

A laptop kiosk is now stationed in Howell Library on the Southern Wake Campus. Students, faculty, and staff can check out laptops for up to three (3) hours use while on the Southern Wake Campus. As you enter Howell Library, look to your right hand side. The laptop kiosk is directly in front of the service desk by the quick print computers.

• The laptops can leave the library but have to be checked back in after three (3) hours. All laptops must be returned at least 30 minutes before Howell Library closes.
• Students, faculty, and staff will use their Wake Tech ID card to check out the laptop, and the kiosk will also record their photo as part of the checkout process.
• Please make sure to review all the information that is presented on screen during the check out process.

Welcome to Howell Library on the Southern Wake Campus. The Southern Wake librarians and staff are available to assist you with any library-related questions or concerns that you may have.
