Wi-Fi Hotspots Available for Checkout
Thanks to a pair of federal grants, several libraries across the county now offer T-Mobile wi-fi hotspots for checkout!
These hotspots provide internet access that you can take with you anywhere that has T-Mobile cellular coverage, and you can connect as many as a dozen different devices simultaneously. Each hotspot provides unlimited data.
Hotspots cannot be reserved for pickup outside the branches that own them, and checkout requirements vary depending on which grant was used to acquire the hotspots, so be sure to contact your library for details.

Make The Most of your Library: Custom Event Brochures |
|
Our online program calendar is a helpful tool for finding upcoming library programs by location, age group, and/or event type. But did you know you can put that information into a custom, printable brochure?
Here's how:
-
Start at our library events calendar and set the limits for whatever library, age group, and/or program types you're interested in
- Click the "Create Brochure" button at the top left corner of the screen
- The calendar will automatically format the events into a printable format. You'll see a message that tells you what limits you put in place, and the number of events that meet your specifications.
- From there, you can download the brochure as a PDF to print or view. You can also email the brochure to yourself or someone else, by clicking the "send via email" tab.
And the best part is, you can have our calendar automatically send you updated brochures, to keep you posted about future library programs that meet the criteria you specified. You can have your program brochure arrive on the first of each month, or use the controls to select daily or weekly mailings. That way, you'll always know what's happening at your Pinal County Libraries. You can create and subscribe for as many different brochures as you want, so you can follow different libraries or get separate adult and children's brochures. Unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link in the brochure email.

Books & Brews participants can even enjoy 10% off food and drinks! Find us on the bar’s back patio for lively discussion and libations. All are welcome!
