Thanks to the support of the Emergency Connectivity Fund, the Thousand Oaks Library is able to provide a Wi-Fi Hotspot lending service to eligible households that have an unmet educational need. These Wi-Fi Hotspots offer free Internet access through cellular networks at 4G or LTE speed. Each hotspot can connect up to 15 Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
