If you have a Contra Costa County Library Card you can checkout a Wi-Fi Hotspot for Free. Also, on most grounds of the libraries including their parking lots you can access the library Wi-Fi as well.
Wireless Access
We make it easy to get online with our Wi-Fi Hotspot Kits. If you have a Library card, you can check out a hotspot for free and use it to connect your tablet, laptop or other Wi-Fi enabled device. You can borrow a hotspot for 21 days.
Free wireless internet access is available in all library buildings. Even though our buildings are currently closed to the public, free Wi-Fi internet access at some locations can be accessed from the parking lot or other outside areas.
What is a Wi-Fi Hotspot?
Contra Costa County Library Wi-Fi hotspot kits give you portable wireless internet access, Wi-Fi calling, and texting as allowed by your mobile service provider. Just turn it on and you're ready to connect up to 10 devices to one hotspot. You can use tablets, laptops, or smartphones to do research online, shop at your favorite website, download movies, and more. The hotspot lets you access the internet in all 50 states with unlimited data, up to 4G LTE. Service is limited to areas with T-Mobile network coverage and signal strength may vary by location. For additional information and "how-to" videos, click here. These kits do require an electrical connection in order to charge the device. Once charged, the hotspots can used without the charger/adapter. Please note that online content accessed with the hotspot is not filtered and parents are responsible for monitoring their children's internet use.
How do I borrow a hotspot?
Anyone who has a Contra Costa County Library card can borrow a Wi-Fi hotspot kit at no charge. Wi-Fi hotspots are displayed in the Library catalog and may be requested by placing a hold, visiting a community library service desk, or contacting Library staff for assistance.
You can check out one Wi-Fi hotspot kit at a time for a three week loan period. You get free wireless internet access with the hotspot during that time.
If you don't have a Library card, you can apply for one here.
