Mobile Hotspots have arrived at OPL!
What is a Mobile Hotspot? These are easy to use devices that give you wireless internet connection wherever a cellular network is available.
You can connect your tablet, smartphone, or computer to our Mobile Hotspots to surf the web, download e-Books, watch videos on Hoopla, do online banking, or research your latest great read.
Who can borrow a Mobile Hotspot? Any Orillia Public Library member with a valid Adult library membership in good standing. This includes:
- Those who live in the City of Orillia, the Township of Oro-Medonte, the Town of Severn, or members of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation.
