All locations of London Public Library, except Glanworth and Lambeth, provide wireless.

How do I use wireless Internet at the library?

Wireless Internet access uses radio frequency signals to exchange data between laptop computers and a network without the need for cables. LPL offers free wireless access to the Internet using the WiFi standard, IEEE 802.11b.

• Bring your own portable computer to the library with either built-in WiFi or an installed adapter card. Most WiFi or 802.11b compatible units should work at the library. Due to the variety of computer systems, library staff will not be expected to help visitors configure their own equipment.
• Sit anywhere in the public areas and access the wireless network. The library system's wireless network is open to everyone. No special logins, passwords, or encryptions are required. Electrical outlets are found throughout the building, usually on the columns.
• View available wireless networks from your laptop and select from the list “ LondonPublicLibrary”. LPL’s Internet access disclaimer will appear when you open your browser for the first time. You will then be able to access the Internet .
