There are a number of library rooms equipped with Apple TVs connected to large LCD displays. Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iOS device or Apple computer. The AirPlay feature works with newer Apple iOS devices and newer Apple computers. Please check Apple's support pages to see if your device is supported. AirPlay at SPU requires your Apple device to have Bluetooth 4.0 for discovery.
