Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library loans WiFi Hotspots

The Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library is now allowing members to borrow a WiFi hotspot.

The library has 20 WiFi hotspots to lend free of charge to cardholders.

A media release said it is easy to use, as people would just need to turn it on and connect a device. There is unlimited data provided with the hotspots.

The lending project is supported by the Government of Canada's Healthy Communities Initiative to help address the digital divide that exists in local communities.

They lend for three weeks at a time and are also perfect for camping, long drives and testing rural WiFi capability.

The library also loans Chromebooks and Amazon Fire tablets.
