Wireless Hotspots

In order to support the Marlborough Public Library's mission of providing access to information and to support the diverse needs of our community, the Marlborough Public Library circulates Wi-Fi hotspots. Borrow a library HotSpot to work on school projects, job searching online, vacations, or just fun! Started working on something in the library but want to continue working on it from home? Borrow a HotSpot! You can now put a hold on a Hotspot. You may pick up your Hotspot once you receive notice your hold is ready. Place a Hold for a hotspot.

Additional Information

  • Hotspots circulate to adults 18 years or older for 3 weeks with no renewal.
  • Hotspots are limited to one per household at any given time.
  • A patron who has borrowed a hotspot may not reserve another until the borrowed hotspot has been returned to the library.
  • There will be a charge of $5 for each day that a hotspot is overdue.
  • Library staff reserve the right to revoke hotspot borrowing privileges where a patron has not followed this policy or the hotspot borrowing policy of another library.
