Rules of Use

Hotspots may be borrowed by patrons 18 and older. One hotspot may be checked out per library card at a time. Library cards must be in good standing.

Holds can be placed on hotspots in the library card and must be picked up and returned to the library from which it was borrowed. Please return the hotspot to the library service desk or via curbside/drive thru, during open hours.

Hotspots will deactivate if not returned on the due date.
