You can borrow a Wi-Fi hotspot at the Jones Library Reference Desk, the Munson Memorial Library, or the North Amherst Library.

The hotspots connect to the T-Mobile network. See a map of the T-Mobile coverage area.

TO GET STARTED:
If the hotspot’s battery runs low, you can plug it into a wall outlet using the included cable. It may take 3 to 4 hours for the battery to fully charge, but it can be used while it is charging.
