The devices can be reserved through the Library’s catalog by typing in "Benicia Library Hotspot", or you can call the Library at 746-4343 to place a hold. These devices can be borrowed for up to three weeks only and are not renewable. Borrow one, plug it in and while it is charging up, read the instructions carefully.
