The library’s free Wi-Fi is on even when the library is closed to assist those who need access to the internet after hours from outside the building. To obtain the password ask at the front desk during hours we are open. The library abides by copyright laws and if any illegal activity is detected using the library’s Wi-Fi we will be forced to discontinue this service.

If you wish to access the internet from your home or on the go, you may check out a hotspot device. These small devices allow you to connect to the internet using a cellular connection. To check out a hotspot you must be a registered patron, eighteen years or older, in good standing for at least one month. A lending agreement must be signed and hotspots must be returned in fourteen days. The library received the hotspots through Cares Act funds from the Montana State Library and a grant from Humanities Montana and the National Endowment of the Humanities.
