Plum Creek Library System makes mobile hotspots available to adult PCLS card holders for check out to be used with mobile connected devices. Patrons agree to the following Library Hotspot rules and regulations.
Hotspots may only be used within the continental United States. Connecting to a hotspot outside of the United States may result in international access fees, for which the patron is responsible to pay.
Patrons must abide by all state and federal statutes and laws related to internet access, including those regarding obscenity, pornography, and the delivery of any such material to minors. PCLS is not responsible for information accessed using the device or for personal information that is shared over the internet. Patrons are encouraged to use safe internet practices.
Lost or damaged devices will result in a $100.00 replacement cost charged to the patron and an additional replacement cost for hotspot components that may be assessed up to $25.00. The total replacement cost for the hotspot kit will be $125.00
Hotspots are provided according to availability to adult patrons and must be returned to the circulation desk of the library from which they were borrowed.
The device will be turned off should the item become overdue.
