A wi-fi hotspot is a device that can be used to connect a mobile-enabled device, such as a laptop, smartphone, or tablet to the Internet. A hotspot is portable, so it can connect multiple devices almost anywhere without any wires. A combination of sixteen mobile devices from Verizon and T-Mobile are available for a check-out period of five days providing patrons with free internet to go. Wi-Fi hotspots, carrying cases, and accessories may be borrowed by WWC Library cardholders ages 18 and above with library cards that are current and in good standing. The Waynesboro-Wayne County Library will be the second library in Mississippi to circulate wi-fi hotspots and add yet another service to help the public during the Covid pandemic. The American Library Association (ALA) and Capital One awarded grants to 20 public libraries out of 170 applications to participate in Community Connect: Digital Access at Home, a program supporting digital access and financial capability for rural communities nationwide. The Waynesboro-Wayne County Library was the only library selected in the state of Mississippi to participate in this project. For more information contact Patsy C. Brewer, Library Director, at (601) 735-2268, by email at librarywayne39367@gmail.com or check out the library’s Facebook page.
