Wi-Fi Hotspots
Chromebook/Wi-Fi Hotspot Kits
Reddick Public Library District offers an alternative to in-library computer use. We have a limited number of Chromebook/Wi-Fi Hotspot kits as a part of the library's circulating collection. The kit includes a Chromebook laptop and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Chromebook can be used to perform a variety of tasks using the Google Chrome browser. The Wi-Fi hotspot is a small, portable device that can be used almost anywhere to create a wireless network and is capable of providing high-speed internet access for up to ten (10) Wi-Fi enabled devices.
A Chromebook/Wi-Fi Hotspot Kit can be checked out by any patron ages 18 and older with a Reddick Library card in good standing (no fines or overdue items and no history of a delinquent account). The kit circulates for three (3) days. There is no renewal.
To reserve a Chromebook/Wi-Fi Hotspot Kit, please call the library at (815) 434-0509, stop by the Circulation Desk, or place a hold through the online catalog.
Affordable Connectivity Program
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a U.S. government program run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet.
You are likely eligible if your household's income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line, or if you or someone you live with currently receives a government benefit like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, Pell Grant, or Free and Reduced-Price Lunch.
If your household is eligible, you could receive:
- Up to a $30/month discount on your internet service
- Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands
- A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more that $10 but less than $50)
- A low cost service plan that may be fully covered through the ACP.
To learn more or to apply, visit affordableconnectivity.gov or call (877)384-2575.
