Who We Help: Libraries

Connect patrons to the Internet anytime, anywhere.

Libraries are essential to providing equal digital and educational opportunities for all Americans. Providing free public Internet access, community programs, and digital literacy training enables people to apply for jobs, interact with government agencies, engage in lifelong learning, and keep in touch with family and friends.

We help libraries get the Internet access they need and extend it to people who need it most. With Mobile Beacon you can:

Libraries across the country are partnering with Mobile Beacon to innovate with technology and offer exciting new services, such as:

  • Loaning out the Internet with our Wi-Fi To-Go program.
  • Providing remote circulation and reference services. Providence Community Library uses our mobile hotspots to remotely connect to reference services, complete circulation duties, and provide free Wi-Fi for families and individuals during community events.
  • Create an inexpensive backup Internet service, or load-balance network traffic through a secondary Internet source.
  • Provide Internet access for your mobile computer lab so you can hold training anywhere.
  • Supplement your Adult Education programs by offering adult learners access to resources during library off-hours.

TechSoup Partner Program

By pairing Mobile Beacon’s affordable service with programs like TechSoup, we help you open doors to opportunity and expand access to more patrons.

 

 

Qualified organizations can receive donated hotspots through our TechSoup donation program to further reduce the cost of connectivity. We offer up to 11 donated devices PER library branch to help you get the number of devices you need to expand access without breaking your budget. You can find out how your library can participate on our TechSoup Donation Program page.
