The
New Milford Library has offerred free wireless Internet access for use with your
laptop computer for many years now.
However, we have changed our provider and so now it is no longer necessary to enter your library card number to access this service. There is also no longer an introductory or splash page. Just connect to one of our access points: New Milford Public Library or Memorial Hall and start surfing!
We have also tried to better accommodate the increasing number of our patrons who have laptops and need the free wi-fi service. Therefore, you will see our new Laptop Stations sections in the Adult Reference area and on the mezzanine. We now have 13 additional, individual tables each with their own electrical outlet to plug into! There are 7 downstairs and 6 more upstairs.
We hope these changes will make your wi-fi experience more enjoyable and more useful.
