Wi-Fi

The library offers free public Wi-Fi. You do not need a password. Follow these four steps to connect:

  1. Turn on your device's Wi-Fi to see available networks.
  2. Select our wireless network “pomopublic”.
  3. Open a browser to get on the internet.
  4. Read our Welcome Page, then tap the grey "Continue to the Internet" button at the bottom of the page.

Public Wi-Fi security

Please be aware that the pomopublic wireless network is not secure. Information sent to or from your device can be captured by rogue users on the same network, or anyone else with a wireless device and the appropriate software, within 300 feet.

You are responsible for the security of your own equipment and data in a public wireless environment, and are advised to consider installing a software firewall and the latest security patches and updates.

Printing

You can print from the Library's computers. You can also send your print jobs wirelessly from your own laptop, phone, and even remotely from your home computer.

You can print on the following three paper sizes:

  • Letter (8.5" x 11")
  • Legal (8.5" x 14")
  • Ledger (11" x 17")

Our self-serve print release terminal accepts bills and coins. You can also pay online using Google Pay, Apple Pay, or a credit card. If you would like to pay in person using debit or credit, see staff at the Information Desk to release your print job.

Scanning

Scanning is free at the Library. We have two scanners:

  • A document scanner that is best for scanning a single page or multiple pages all at once
  • A flatbed scanner that can accommodate documents of different sizes and thicknesses, such as photo ID, passports, photos, and more.

You can save scanned documents as PDFs or images.

See information about the Digitization Station if you are looking to convert photos, negatives, and slides to digital files.
