Mobile Hotspots

Check out the Internet from the Burton Public Library!
 
With your library card you can now borrow a portable Sprint Internet Wi-Fi Hotspot from Burton Library. 
Our new wireless lending program is a free service that allows you to take the Internet wherever you go!
 
Helping to bridge the gaps in access to technology, this service is ideal for those who are unable to access the Internet at home or remotely. A Wi-Fi Hotspot is a small device you can use to connect a wireless enabled device, such as a laptop, smartphone, or tablet, to the Internet. Hotspots are portable, so you can connect your device to the Internet almost anywhere you are. At home, on a bus, in the park, etc. This hotspot device works in any area covered by the Sprint 3G or 4G LTE network.
