Did you know that the Bigelow Free Public Library has Wi-Fi hotspots for Clinton residents (ages 18+) to borrow with their library card? Are you going on vacation where the Wi-Fi might be sketchy (or non-existent)? Borrow a hotspot!

What is a hotspot?
Put simply, a portable hotspot taps into cellular networks, just like a smartphone does. Once it’s zeroed in on cellular data connection (using the T-Mobile/Sprint network), a mobile hotspot can share that connection via Wi-Fi with nearby smartphones, laptops, tablets, or any device that can connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Please see our new Hot Spot Lending & Circulation Policy for more details.
