Wireless public internet
The Harriman Public Library offers wireless Internet access to the public. Patrons who own portable computer devices with wireless capability can use their own software inside the Llibrary, including, but not limited to laptop computers, tablet computers, and smart phones. Printing on the Library's printers is not currently available from a patron's portable device.
Library Staff and Volunteers cannot provide individual instruction or advice on how to configure your computer to utilize wireless access. Patrons must know how to set up a network or wireless profile using the software on their devices.
