Libraries

Many local libraries offer public Internet access. Some have computers for your use, and some also have wi-fi that allows Internet access from your own laptop.

If you want to take your own laptop and use a library's wi-fi you may need to obtain a password from the library staff. Some libraries also shut off the wi-fi when they are closed.

Some libraries limit access to card-holders only. If you are not a card-holder, please call ahead to be sure access is available to you.

Using public wi-fi networks is not without risk. Check out this article on how to stay safer: How to Stay Safe on Public Networks
