Mobile Hotspots C . C . Mellor Library is now loaning Wi-Fi hotspots to cardholders .

Each one is packaged as a kit that includes a case , a charger and step-by-step instructions . The hotspot is portable , so it goes where you go within the U . S . — on the bus , in a park or at home . It ’ s perfect for business and leisure travel too . With the hotspot , users no longer have to contend with roaming charges and spotty internet access while on the road . For more information about the Wi-Fi hotspots , visit the library ’ s website .
