On Monday, the Toronto Public Library launched its carbon dioxide monitor lending program. The library system has 50 carbon dioxide monitors available at its eight digital innovation hubs.

Each Aranet4 monitor comes with a "quick start" guide and a fact sheet on how to interpret the levels. Nearly half of the devices have been loaned out already. The monitors, which are powered by batteries, can measure the CO2 level not only in homes, but also in offices or other indoor environments, and then display the data on a screen.Ab Velasco, TPL's manager of innovation, said the program is intended to empower people with technology to help them to make safe choices.
Velasco said the program is part of TPL's tradition of providing Torontonians with access to expensive technology. There are no renewals and no holds allowed to ensure the monitors can be borrowed widely. "Overall, these monitors give us a good window into our spaces, making them healthier and safer, and it's a great advance for everybody."
