Get connected!

To help bridge a gap in internet access, we're now lending wireless internet hotspots (search for "hotspot" in the catalogue). Several hotspots will be tied to our branches in rural communities, with additional hotspots available through Kingston locations.

This collection will soon include 10 Chromebooks for loan to those who don’t have a device of their own. 

This project has been supported by the Cameron & Laurie Thompson Fund with the Community Foundation of Kingston and Area.
