Mobile Hotspots

Hotspots are available to adult East Greenbush/Schodack resident cardholders with accounts in good standing on a first-come first-served basis. Online cards and MyCards are not accepted. Patron must present a library card or government-issued ID at checkout. Only one hotspot can be checked out per household. After checking in a hotspot, a patron must wait at least 48 hours before checking out a hotspot again.

Hotspots are available on a first-come first-served basis and can be checked out for three (3) days. They are not renewable.

Hotspots are not requestable or renewable in the catalog.  Resident borrowers may call the library at 518-477-7476 to request a hotspot for same-day pickup.

Hotspots are to be checked out at the circulation desk or requested for pickup at the drive thru window.  Return hotspots directly to the welcome desk at the East Greenbush Library, confirming that the hardware is turned off.  If the library is only offering curbside service, go to the drive thru during pickup hours and request a staff member to report to the front door for a safe return.

Once a hotspot is checked out to a patron, it becomes the responsibility of that patron. Any changes in condition or content while in the patron’s care will be the patron’s responsibility. The patron is responsible for damage, loss, theft, and/or International Roaming charges accrued due to data usage outside of the United States.

If any technical problems are encountered, patrons should return the device immediately to the welcome desk.

Hotspot Replacement/Damage Fees:

Any attempt to reset or reconfigure the hotspot will result in a $10 reconfiguration fee.  Other damage fees will be assessed on a case by case basis.
