Wifi & Hotspot Access
Free Internet
Free wireless internet is available at all of our library branches and can be accessed on personal laptops, tablets, or other devices that are equipped with wireless network capabilities.
Wireless Extenders
Additionally, wireless signals can be utilized up to 1,000 feet outside all Library locations, including Bookmobile community stops. Simply drive or walk to a Delaware Library location and connect any wireless-enabled device from the comfort of your car or a nearby bench. No password is needed.
Borrow the Internet
Patrons are also able to check out and take home a mobile hotspot just as easily as they would a book or DVD. The hotspots will provide internet access to users in any location with a cell signal. Mobile hotspots are small, portable devices that provide wireless internet access for any device that can connect to a wireless signal, such as a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or gaming device. Mobile hotspots typically use mobile broadband service from cellular providers for 5G Internet access. Use them on your vacation, for your next conference presentation, or to temporarily add wireless connectivity to a home that does not have it. Hotspots will offer unlimited data usage. 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.
Take home a hotspot
Mobile Hotspot
Patrons must be 18 years of age or older to check out a hotspot, with a valid DCDL library card in good standing. Hotspots may be checked out for two weeks with no renewals. The hotspot can provide internet access for up to 10 devices.
