Where to use the Wifi service
At present only Walsall Central Library offers this service throughout the building. There may also be coverage outside the building.
A limited number of clearly marked mains power points are available in the Reference Library for laptop connection. Please do not use any other power sockets for your laptop connection due to safety concerns. Do not allow your cables to trail across the floor as this causes a hazard.
If you have trouble logging on with your library ID or PIN please ask a member of library staff.
We are unable to offer technical help with your laptop and connection to the wireless network. No extra software will be installed on your laptop.
Filtering
The Internet connection is filtered using the standard library filtering and the sites you visit will be logged and checked by library staff if there appears to be any misuse. If sites are blocked you will see this message.
Please let the library staff know of any problems or comments so that we can improve the operation of the service.
