Austin Public Library Is Hot

Editor,
   Just a friendly reminder to your readers and adding to Mark Savlov's article "The Hot Spot," June 11 [Technology] – the Austin Public Library is hot (provides free wireless Internet access) and has been since April 2003. Thanks to a donation from Schlotzsky's Deli, in 2003 wireless access points for all library locations became available. The library's technology team implemented the wireless connectivity using the library's existing infrastructure. Currently, 14 branch libraries, the Faulk Central Library, and the Austin History Center, as well as Wooldridge Square Park, located between Eighth and Ninth streets on Guadalupe, have wireless connectivity. APL has recently jumped on board with Less Networks and is part of the Wireless City Project. APL is the largest free public Internet access footprint in the city of Austin. Come visit us; it's your library! For additional information about wireless at Austin Public Library, visit the Web at www.cityofaustin.org/library or call 974-7400.
