WHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — Free drive-up WiFi service at local libraries is improving.
The Whatcom County Library System decided to improve their free public internet access program after libraries were closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Outside public libraries across Whatcom County and at the Birch Bay bookmobile stop, community members will now find boosted WiFi signals that WCLS says now extends beyond the library parking lots in many cases.
Community members do not need a library card to access the internet, but they do need one if they want to check out and use a library laptop.
