Hotspots

Patrons are able to check out and take home a mobile hotspot just as easily as they would a book or DVD. Mobile hotspots are small, portable devices that provide wireless internet access with unlimited data usage for any device that can connect to a wireless signal, such as a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or gaming device. The hotspots will provide internet access to users in any location with a cell signal. Use it on your vacation, for your next conference presentation, or to temporarily add wireless connectivity to a home that does not have it. They may not be renewed, and there are no late fees on them. However, once the loan period is up, the device will be deactivated and the full replacement cost of the hotspot, the cords, and the case will be billed to the patron’s account. Upon return of the device, the charge will be removed. View the full lending policy here.
