Huntsville Public Library (HPL) was among the recipients, receiving a $4,860 Improving Library Digital Services grant that it will use to purchase a third Wi-Fi hotspot that library patrons can check out for unlimited Internet access at home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The funding supports connecting the community with technologies,&#8221; said Deb Duce, HPL&#8217;s CEO\/Chief Librarian.  &#8220;(The hotspots) are very popular and users express their enthusiasm when they return them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Most of the funds will be used to purchase the device and support the monthly fees for all three of the library&#8217;s lendable hotspots, said Duce. &#8220;The remainder will be used to purchase technologies that \u2018suddenly appear\u2019 and catch the interests of users of all ages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>HPL announced the purchase of the first two hotspots in March. Library patrons can check out the HPL Hotspots for up to seven days that will provide unlimited access to the Internet for that time period. There is no data cap on the devices which receive signals from Rogers cell towers.
