  • Wi-Fi remains on, during normal library hours, until further notice. Connectivity outside the library building varies by location. Comcast has some low-cost options for people without internet access at home.

  • By their very nature, public Wi-Fi networks are not secure.

    If security is important to you, we suggest connecting to a VPN or limiting your Wi-Fi use to non-critical email and basic web surfing.

    To increase security, use firewall and antivirus software, keep your operating system up to date, turn file sharing off, and encrypt sensitive files.

  • Free Wireless Internet Access (Wi-Fi) is available at all of our libraries. No password is needed to connect.

    Using your computer's network utilities, look for the Wi-Fi network named "kcls.org Wireless."
