Link to July 19 Wausau Daily Herald article, "More libraries add Wi-Fi Internet".
Excerpts: All branches of the Marathon County Public Library system had wireless Internet as of last year, and the T.B. Scott Free Library in Merrill went wireless in 2007.
"It is an expectation that libraries supply wireless," said Marathon County Public Library Director Phyllis Christensen.
"We have a limited number of wired computers, so (the wireless network) makes it unlimited," said T.B. Scott Free Library Director Stacy Stevens.
She said roughly 25 to 50 new users sign up by asking for the username and password to the system each month. The feature is so popular that some users access the Internet from the library parking lot when the building is closed.
