New and Improved Wi-Fi Access at the Library

The TMC Library has redesigned and installed an improved Wi-Fi network. This network will provide better coverage and faster connectivity.

Next time you access the library’s Wi-Fi, change the wireless network ID to The TMC Library. Communications in the new network are encrypted so when connecting for the first time you will be asked to enter a password. See Library staff for password information.

The previous Wi-Fi network HAMTMCL will be phased out in a few months.
