Coronavirus: Rochester Public Libraries Offering Mobile Hotspots

From the City of Rochester:

(Wednesday, March 18, 2020) – In response to the closure
of libraries throughout the county due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the
Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County has added 500 mobile
hotspots to enable access to the internet for families who may not have a
connection at home. The additional mobile hotspots are now available for
residents to borrow from the Central Library.

Mobile hotspots, along with all other library materials,
can be obtained via the Central Library’s Curbside Pickup service. People
can call ahead to request items, which will be checked out, bundled and
delivered to them on the Broad Street side of the Bausch & Lomb
Library Building by appointment.

Anyone interested in borrowing library items should
arrange for Curbside Pickup by calling 585-428-7300.
