Stopped in again at the Mid-Continent Public Library's Blue Ridge branch this evening, and despite the fact that, as I previously reported, MCPL's locations don't show up as free hotspots in JiWire's listings any more, this branch at least is still offering free coupon access. I asked a librarian why MCPL doesn't just open up the network and she didn't have an answer. Maybe if someone from central administration could come here and look at all the desktop workstations occupied-and people waiting to get onto one-do you suppose that they just might get a clue? I can see three or four out of maybe a dozen users who look old enough to responsibly handle a laptop. There are also a couple of kids who obviously aren't that old having to sit and wait.
I ask you-what's wrong with this picture that a free, open and well-publicized wireless network wouldn't help fix?
