Check Out a Hotspot

HOTSPOT LENDING

Nevada County Community Library cardholders can access free, unlimited internet within the United States where a T-Mobile or Verizon Signal is available through our Wi-Fi hotspot lending program.

Portable hotspots allow library cardholders who do not have home internet access to easily get online using a Wi-Fi enabled device such as a phone, tablet or laptop. Hotspots are available to check out from select Nevada County Community Libraries, just like a book or DVD.
