The library provides free WiFi access for those with laptops or other devices capable of receiving wireless signals.

What do I need to use WiFi?

• A laptop, smart phone, or other portable device with wireless capability
• Charged battery. The library also has some accessible electrical outlets near some tables, but not all. If you find an outlet, use it. But be prepared to be self-powered.
• Headphones - if you plan on listening to audio or video. The library has a few headphones for loan at the Media Desk but these are often in use by those using the library's computers.

Where and when can I use the library's WiFi?

• Main Library building (inside)
• The arcade between the Main Library and the Mathes Center building
• Literacy Annex

Wireless access is available during the hours the Library is open to the public.

Can I print?

No.  Printing is not available through the library's WiFi.

How safe is WiFi?

WiFi poses the same risks to your personal information that a wired network poses, as well as some new risks.  Users should educate themselves about the benefits of using anti-virus and firewall software. Cautious WiFi users may choose not to transmit sensitive data.

The WiFi isn't working.  What can I do?

• Signal strength may vary within the library.  Try moving to a different location.
• Let library staff know you are not getting wireless access. We can try resetting the wireless signal.  However, we cannot help you troubleshoot your laptop (or other mobile device).
