The OWWL Library System supports Wireless Access Points at member libraries so that members of the public can have free Wi-Fi access during and outside of regular library hours.
It is the System’s belief, based on internal research, that providing free Wi-Fi is a critical service of public libraries.
In order to guarantee the most inclusive Wi-Fi service possible, the System requests that every Member Library using the OWWL Wireless service uphold to the following conditions:
- Wi-Fi access will be available without a password or required credentials. The System will control access to the Wi-Fi network by a splash page that will communicate patron terms of use.
- Wi-Fi access will be anonymous. The System does not have access to and cannot reveal personally identifying information about Wi-Fi users.
- Wi-Fi access will be available to the public for as much time that is reasonable for the rules, policies, and procedures of the local library.
By default, Wi-Fi access is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If a Member Library requires an interruption to this schedule, they may contact the Executive Director or Computer Network Services Manager to discuss possible solutions.
