The library is happy to offer access to telehealth services through the use of our Study/Wellness Pod. The Pod is a freestanding room located at the back of the library. It is equipped with a laptop, computer mouse, lights, and technology relevant to telehealth needs.
The Pod is sound dampening and has a built-in ventilation system. A film attached to the outside ensures privacy for all users.
The Prendergast Library telehealth project was created by the Western New York Library Resources Council (WNYLRC). The Wellness Pod and its associated technologies are funded through WNYLRC.
A staff member is available to assist with technology needs as time allows. This staff member is not a medical professional, but a resource for finding relevant information and ensuring a successful telehealth experience.
To reserve the Pod, fill out our online meeting room application HERE.
