The North Kawartha Public Library is pleased to offer free wi-fi service at both branches for your personal devices, however, we cannot make any guarantee of speed. During peak seasons, due to volume of traffic, there may be a noticeable slowdown. We appreciate your understanding and recommend that if you require reliable high speed internet for business or personal use, that you investigate other options available to you.

Free wireless internet is available 24/7 at both branches.
You may access the wireless network at the library by using your own portable computer or device that has either built-in Wi-Fi or an installed adapter card. Library staff is not expected to help visitors configure their devices, due to the wide selection of devices available.
