A Real Hotspot!

Did you know that our library has free Wi-Fi as well as Internet-accessible computers? If your Wi-Fi is on the blink, or if you just happened to be stopping by and want to check your email, you can use your iPad, Kindle, Nook, or laptop to access the Internet!

No matter the device or laptop, when you bring it in to the library, there are few steps to take before you can browse the Internet. First you need to connect to our Wi-Fi. Double click on your Wi-Fi or wireless icon, then click on our Wi-Fi name, "Kutztown Community Library."

Once you're connected to our Wi-Fi, open your browser of choice on your device (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc) and type where you want to go into the address bar. The Wi-Fi will stop you from going to the site, briefly showing a "You're not connected to the Internet" message, before showing you a page titled the "Louisa Gonser Internet Policy," which lists the details of our current Internet policy. Carefully read through our Internet policy before clicking on the "Accept" button at the bottom. After that, you're free to browse the Internet to do what you need to do!

Please note: We are a public library and therefore any websites or images that endorse adult themes will be blocked, according to state law and our own policy. Also, our printers are not connected to the Wi-Fi, so if you need to print, you'll need to be on one of our computers.

If you need help accessing the Internet while you're here, or if you have any questions about connecting to our Wi-Fi with your specific device, feel free to ask one of the library ladies for help! We hope you'll stop by soon!
