Circulating WiFi Hotspots

Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service is pleased to offer a collection of WiFi hotspots, now in circulation at our member library locations. This is part of an ongoing effort to meet the needs of patrons within our service area who otherwise lack reliable internet access.

Where do I get a hotspot? Contact your home library or nearest CCRLS member library. You can also discover them in our online catalog and place a hold there.

How old do I have to be to check out a hotspot? You must be 18 or older.

May I check out more than one hotspot? You may only check out one hotspot at a time.

How long can I check out a hotspot? Generally, hotspots are checked out for a 21-day period, with renewals possible (up to three) if no holds are pending. Member libraries may exercise local discretion when determining circulation periods and/or number of renewals.

What if a hotspot becomes overdue? The device will be disabled remotely until it is either returned or successfully renewed.

What kind of coverage can I expect? Devices provide access within the T-Mobile coverage area. Performance may vary, based on local conditions and/or circumstances.

Will a hotspot support multiple devices? Generally, yes. Hotspots are configured to allow up to 5 concurrent connections.
