WiFi Hotspots are available for check out.

Wifi Hotspots are eligible to be placed on hold for any Phoenix Public Library location.

Phoenix Public Library will notify the Library Account holder when the hold is available for pickup at the selected location based on their notification settings. Held items must be checked out by the date listed or the item will be made available to the next requester. Holds may only be checked out to the Library Account used to place the hold unless the account holder has chosen to associate their account with that of another account holder, excluding WiFi Hotspots. For WiFi Hotspots, a maximum of five (5) devices can connect to the Hotspot at one time.

Devices and applicable charging cord(s) must be returned to the service desk at the location of original check out and directly to a library employee only during library hours of operation.
