[OPLINLIST] EXTERNAL: Re: Charging Station

[Ron McGlone]

The outlet with USB port is the route we took at our booth area, but keep in mind that you’ll need to use the same amp (15 or 20) outlet as the circuit breaker serving the outlet. Most all commercial type buildings use 20amp circuits (12-gauge wire) as per code. Use “UL” rated outlets.
Then stock up on the economical charging cords.

At least one of the libraries I work with has replaced numerous 15/20Amp easily accessible electrical wall outlets in patron areas throughout the library with combo electric/USB-A/C charging ports. I see patrons using them periodically wherever they happen to be sitting.

Greetings All,

We are looking at trying to find new options for patrons to charge their devices while inside the library. Currently, we have chargers that we loan out for use inside the building. The problem, we have had several chargers walk off. Do any of you folks have a charging solution that you find works best for you? Are any folks using chargers that are attached to a piece of furniture that patrons can simply place their device on to charge? Any insight anyone can provide would be most helpful.
