In partnership with Chatham-Kent Ontario Health Team (CKOHT), the C-K Public Library (CKPL) is working to give residents more options to borrow wifi hotspots to access the Internet from home.
CKPL is expanding the Connect CK collection to include Express wifi hotspots. These hotspots will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis at library branches in Bothwell, Chatham, Highgate, Merlin, Thamesville, Wallaceburg, and Wheatley.
Express hotspots are available to adult patrons (16-plus) with a valid library card in good standing and can be checked out for seven days with no renewals or holds.
Connect CK is an initiative aimed at reducing the digital divide for residents in Chatham-Kent.
Connect CK is a partnership between CKPL, CKOHT and Chatham-Kent Employment and Social Services.
