We have 6 Internet-accessible computers available for public use. A library card in good standing is required to log on. If you are from out of state or do not have a library card, we can issue you a guest pass, but Connecticut residents are limited to one guest pass only and are expected to have a library card from their town of residence for future computer use. Those with lost items or fines exceeding $9.99 on their cards will be blocked from computer use until the charges are cleared up. Please talk to us if your card is blocked so we can help figure out how to get your record back on track!
Right now we are not offering wi-fi for the public. We greatly regret this decision, but our bandwidth cannot support streaming movies or downloading large files. Engaging in these activities results in loss of Internet speed for everyone, sometimes leaving staff unable to perform basic library functions. We expect to convert to fiber optic cable Internet early in 2018 and at that point, we will be able to offer full Internet and Wi-Fi access for the public.
We appreciate your patience during this transitional period and hope that when our fiber-optic is activated we will see our wi-fi users back in the library.
