Borrow the internet from the library!

You can now check out free library internet access and take it home! The Aston Public Library is offering 4G internet hotspots for free one-week checkout with your library card.  Check out a hotspot and you can get internet access anywhere in the area, and at most beaches.  The service is unlimited, so you can browse, listen to music or watch videos.  Reserve your hotspot by going to www.tinyurl.com/aston4g16.  This service is offered in partnership with Mobile Beacon, a nonprofit dedicated to bridging the digital divide.
A 4G hotspot is a device you can use to connect a mobile-enabled device, such as a laptop, smartphone or tablet, to the Internet. The hotspot is portable, so you can connect your device almost wherever you are, like at home, on the bus or in the park.
The Aston Public Library is the first library in Delaware County to offer this service.
