WIFI Hotspots
Effective Monday, May 5th, 2025, the Intercourse Library’s hotspot policy has changed. This is due to certain patrons’ excessive overuse of the devices often leading to situations where there are no hotspots available. The new policy is an attempt to make it more fair for all patrons to access the hotspots.
