Q. How do I access the library's wireless network?

Connecting to WiFi at the library is easy.  

Most users can simply bring their wireless-enabled laptop or other wireless device to the library and turn it on. The device will automatically recognize the wireless network.

The library’s WiFi network is called "library-public"; click on that name to connect. You may see other network names, but they are not provided by the library for free public access.

There is no password, but you must consent to the click-through use agreement by clicking [Yes I agree] at the bottom of the page.

Here are further highlights and considerations:
