OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
There's still a lot to do with your Library!

WiFi Hotspots

Although our building is still closed, the Library wants to keep you connected. Beginning Thursday, October 1st, you can check out a WiFi hotspot using your Library card. These hotspots connect you to the internet using a mobile network.

These devices are perfect for those in our community who don’t have access to the internet or could use extended coverage. Maybe you need a bit of extra internet coverage at home while your network is taxed with online meetings, virtual classrooms, or simply more people home at the same time. Maybe you’re just going on a road trip and could use the extra data to keep the family entertained. Whatever your need, you can check out the WiFi hotspot to help you out.

The hotspots can be checked out for 3 weeks. Give us a call or use the catalog to reserve your spot today. Hotspots may be picked up through our curbside service.

We’d like to thank the Washington State Library, who made these hotspots possible as part of a grant to public libraries. The WiFi hotspots use the T-Mobile network, so check their coverage map to see the signal strength.

Scary Story Writing Contest

We're looking for the spookiest, most bone-chilling story out there! Submit your original scary story to our contest by Monday, October 12th at 5 PM, and you could win a prize! Click here for all rules and guidelines.
