Borrow a Mobile Hot Spot to Get Internet Access Almost Anywhere!
Thanks to a grant through our main branch in Norristown, we now have hot spots available for 2 week checkout. Hot spots are pocket sized mobile routers you can take with you to setup an internet connection. With the signal that the hotspot creates, you can connect your smartphone, tablet and laptop to the internet. This will enable you to set up your own private internet connection almost anywhere. If you don't have internet access please talk to our staff about giving one of these a try.
Mercer Museum - Fonthill Castle Pass
