Hotspot Information
The Raynham Library has hotspots available for checkout for Raynham cardholders. Hotspots have unlimited 4G LTE data and will allow internet access on up to 10 devices at a time. There is no installation required to access the hotspots.
- You may check out a hotspot the same way you would check out a book: visit the Library or request one online. Anyone who is a Raynham cardholder, has a valid SAILS library card, and is 18 years of age or older may check out a hotspot.
- You can borrow a mobile hotspot for 14 days, they cannot be renewed.
- Hotspots must be picked up and returned to the Raynham Library Main Desk. Do NOT return hotspots in the book drop. Please return the device with the case, charger, and a fully charged battery.
- In general, there is no data limit. However, the service provider may lower speed or limit the amount of data that its network can handle for a short time.
- The hotspot periodically receives software updates from the service provider. You can accept the update, which may take a few minutes.
- The borrower is responsible for the hotspot and all components from the time of checkout until the item is returned and checked in by Library staff. The Library is not responsible for any loss of data or damage incurred while using the device.
Overdue and Non Return Policy
- Hotspots have an overdue fine of $1.00 a day.
- Internet access will be deactivated immediately after the due date.
- If a hotspot is not returned within 7 days after the due date, the item will be considered lost, and the borrower will be billed for the full replacement cost of the hotspot and all accessories.
- Patrons with a history of failure to return hotspot devices may be restricted from future hotspot borrowing at the discretion of the Library Director or designee.
- Borrowing privileges will be suspended until the device is returned or the replacement cost is paid in full.
The Library reserves the right to adjust availability of hotspots for fair and equal distribution to the community.
