Wireless Access & Printing

Wi-FiWiFi Zone

In addition to the computers we provide at each branch for patron use, each branch also offers a hotspot for access to the Internet for wireless-enabled laptops and other devices. This wi-fi network is available daily from 7am to 9pm. We typically run maintenance processes on our wireless network on Sundays around 8am. The wireless network may be unavailable for a few minutes while these updates occur.

Use of the Library's wireless network implies acceptance of the Library's patron use agreement.
