Free Wireless Access at BPL

Free wireless access to the Internet via wireless fidelity or “Wi-Fi” is available in all locations of the Birmingham Public Library except for  the Eastwood and Titusville branches.

Patrons may access the Internet via “hot spots” at the library using their own laptop computers or Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Patrons need to provide their own equipment, but do not have to use any special codes or passwords to access the Internet. They can simply turn on their laptop or PDA to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

The Wi-Fi connection is operational whenever the libraries are open. While using this service inside the libraries, patrons must adhere to the same BPL computer and Internet policy as those using Library computers. In addition, the Library recommends Wi-Fi users take appropriate security precautions when using this service.
