Narrative:

As we were climbing through 15;000 ft. Both of the low fuel pressure lights in the center [fuel] tank illuminated. We executed the appropriate checklist which directed us to turn the center tank pump switches off. This extinguished the lights but we were not able to use the center tank fuel. I contacted dispatch and [maintenance] and a decision was made to return to [our departure airport]. We made the request with center who gave us a vector back and began preparations to land. These were negatively affected by the following: when the first officer attempted to locate the overweight landing checklist in his ipad; content locker crashed and he could not access either the QRH or the flight manual. He searched through the hard copy of the QRH but was unable to locate an overweight landing checklist. Using my ipad he was able to execute the return to departure checklist.after a successful landing a search of both the ipad and hard copy of the QRH revealed that there is no overweight landing checklist for the 737.
