Ogden Library goes wireless

Broadband wireless Internet service is now available in the Ogden Farmers' Library building at 269 Ogden Center Road. Library Trustee Corinne Goeke, a former software engineer, installed the wireless hotspot in the library on September 13, making it possible for users with wireless capable devices such as laptop computers, PDAs and cell phones, to access the Internet from all areas of the library.

In order to use the service, users will have to be able to set up their own equipment to access the Internet. Because of the many different pieces of equipment that people can use to access the wireless service, library staff will not be able to help users connect to the wireless Internet service. In the future however, the library will, if the demand is there, offer a program to help people learn how to connect to the wireless service, according to library staff.
