Hotspots

PPLD has FREE hotspots available for check out. Hotspots provide wireless service to patrons that normally do not have it. With a hotspot, you can connect to the Internet anywhere that Sprint has coverage. Hotspots have unlimited data. Click here to reserve a hotspot now. Hotspots are available to patrons ages 18 and over who have had a PPLD library card for at least 90 days. They check out for three weeks. Overdue fines $1 per day with $20 maximum ($50 if item is lost).

Getting started with the Hotspot:

  1. Push the power button on the hotspot.
  2. Go to the WiFi settings on your device and look for the network named PPLDHotspot. Select it.
  3. Put in the password “read1234”.

You should now be connected!

  • You will be able to have multiple devices connected to the Hotspot at one time. The devices will not be able to “see” each other.
  • The devices will be able to access data wherever there is TMobile/Sprint service.
