The following information was provided by the Watertown Library:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a home internet connection has become more important than ever. That’s why the Watertown Free Public Library (WFPL) is now providing laptops and wifi hot spots for patrons to take home for two weeks at a time. Do you know someone that does not have access to the internet, or could benefit from borrowing a computer? Send them to the Library!
Who is eligible?
Anyone with a Watertown or Minuteman library card in good standing may borrow a laptop or a hot spot. If you don’t have a Library card, call WFPL (617-972-6431) or visit watertownlib.org/card to learn how to apply.
Borrowing Policies
Laptops and hot spots can be borrowed for up to two weeks and are not eligible for renewal. Only Watertown residents can place holds for these items, but any Minuteman card holder may check one out at the Circulation Desk, subject to availability. Replacement fines will be charged for lost or damaged technology.
