What is a hotspot?

The hotspot is an easy-to-use device that allows you to connect your tablet, laptop, or other mobile device to the Internet wherever you are – at home, on a road trip, at the park, etc.

What can you do with a hotspot?

• Internet service at home. The library’s hotspot can provide internet access at home to fulfill your household’s needs like research for school projects and papers, job searching and online applications, streaming movies or other entertainment, and much more!
