Google Provides TD Library With Hotspots For Patron Checkout

Google and The Dalles-Wasco County Library unveiled a program that will allow library patrons to check out mobile Wi-Fi hotspots similar to the way they would check out a book.  A grant from Google allowed the library to acquire 50 hotspots in the pilot program.  Google’s Darcy Nothnagle says the Wi-Fi checkout program is intended to help bridge a “digital divide,” noting household income is an indicator of whether or not a person has consistent Internet access.  Hotspots can be checked out for three-week periods, and laptop computers will also be available.
