Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) has announced the launch of "Internet to Go," their mobile hotspot lending program for the public. MCPL has a collection of 250 Verizon MiFi Mobile hotspots that will be available at all MCPL locations currently providing public service.
"We know that the digital
divide affects many of our County residents each day, and we are very pleased
to begin this program,” said MCPL Director Anita Vassallo. "This
will make it possible for us to support County residents who may be working remotely,
helping their children navigate online learning, applying online for jobs and
benefits, and completing other important and necessary tasks
online."
Library cardholders in good standing, who are 14 years and older, are eligible to checkout a mobile hotspot. Hotspots may be borrowed for two weeks with no renewals.
