Wireless hotspots 

are now available

Lake Agassiz Regional Library has added Wireless Hotspots to its collection, offering wireless Internet access to those without it at home and those who wish to stay connected while traveling.

Wireless Hotspots are portable internet access devices that allow people to connect to a WiFi network using theircomputer, smartphone or another device while away from their home, school or office Internet connection. Customers can check out Wireless Hotspots the same way they would check out a book or DVD, with a 14 day loan period and two possible auto-renewals if no one else has requested it. To request a device, place a hold on a wireless hotspot in the library’s catalog, or call a location near you for assistance. Hotspots can also be reserved online at larl.org/hotspots/

The Wireless Hotspots operate on the T-Mobile network. Make sure that your area is covered by the network and you’ll have a good connection here. The collection of Wireless Hotspots is available to residents of Lake Agassiz Regional Library’s service area.
