The Library is not responsible for information accessed using this device or for personal information shared over the Internet. Engaging in behavior meant to cause harm to another individual, such as cyberbullying, or use of a device to access websites which are illegal or contain illegal content will result in loss of borrowing privileges and possible notification to law enforcement.

  • Data usage is unlimited, but the device can only be used in the U.S. There is no international data or roaming. The coverage area is the T-Mobile 4G LTE coverage area.
  • Do not leave the hotspot plugged in. Once it is fully charged, unplug it and let the battery run down before charging again. Please return the hotspot fully charged.
