All borrowers must sign a User Agreement. Hotspots circulate for a period of fourteen days. They must be checked out in person at the Menomonie Public Library. We ask that the hotspots be returned to the checkout desk at the Menomonie Public Library and not in the book drop or at other libraries. Each hotspot unit circulates in a bag with a micro-USB cord, AC adapter and instructions. Hotspots returned after their due date are subject to a $2 per day fine and the hotspot can’t be renewed. The user is responsible for returning all of these items in good condition. If the hotspot or cable is returned damaged, the user may be responsible for the cost of repair, generally $50. If the unit is lost, stolen or not returned, the borrower may be assessed a replacement fee of $200, per Menomonie Public Library’s circulation policies.
Performance of the hotspot will vary depending upon location and Sprint™ coverage in the area. Be advised that the hotspots are an open wireless connection and the Library is not responsible for information accessed using this device or for personal information shared over the Internet. Hotspot users are encouraged to follow safe Internet practices. Hotspot users should refrain from online activity that violates federal, state, or local law.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, the library meeting is currently unavailable.
The library has a meeting room that is available to community groups and organizations when it is not in use by the library. The meeting room’s capacity is 80. The meeting room may be used during regular library hours. The meeting room can be booked no more than 90 days in advance.
