Hot Spots

T-Mobile WI-FI Hotspots are Available for Free Internet for 7 Days

T-Mobile Hot Spot

Browse the internet from any mobile device 24/7! 

The devices allow free internet connection on the go and anywhere T-Mobile service is available on your smartphone, laptop, tablet, or other mobile device.  

The purpose of the circulation of mobile hotspots is to lessen the gap of the digital divide by providing our patrons with greater access to the internet beyond the walls of the library.  In addition to general internet usage, you can access our digital library, download eBooks, and so much more with free internet access where coverage is available through T-Mobile.
