HOTSPOTS at BPL:
We are excited the Friends of Benzonia Public Library have agreed to fund HotSpots for another year! While this is great news, it is important to note that the HotSpot program has changed.
The new HotSpots, powered by Mobile Beacon will be active by next week. Mobile Beacon states it offers the nation’s largest 5G network and lightning-fast 4G network exclusively to community organizations, schools, libraries, and non-profits across the country. Visit their coverage page for details www.mobilebeacon.org/coverage
At BPL we believe this program will offer excellent coverage to most of our users. As with all HotSpot providers there may be areas that are not covered and BPL is subject to these limitations.
