Hotspot

Did you know that if you are over the age of 18 and have a library card you can borrow a portable MiFi hotspot?? With these portable devices you can connect a wifi-enabled device, such as a laptop, smartphone or tablet to the Internet. The hotspot is portable, so you can connect your device almost anywhere, like at home, on vacation, or in the car. USA data only, no international data.
