"Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their yokes from us." (Psalm 2: 3)

Mid-Continent Public Library, Claycomo Branch
309 NE U. S. 69, Claycomo

SSID: MCPLIBRARY.FREE.WIFI

At last, at long last, it appears that Mid-Continent has unequivocably joined the free world. Oh, the Wayport/AT&T SSIDs are still here for those of you nostalgic for them, but hook into the library's once you're up and running and you can just boot and scoot (thanks for that, Macenstein-it's one of the better lines you've come up with here)-free and open (and apparently either unfiltered or not so heavily as to be subject to overblocking).

I managed to find a table next to the wall with a pair of convenient power outlets in the back (go to your left as you come in and go all the way back into the corner), but I think I'd plan on going cordless for an extended stay just to be safe.

And heaven only knows if all of Mid-Continent's other locations have converted yet-unless any of you do.

I just hope Cass County and KCK-now the only unwired library systems in the metro with closed networks-will take the hint.
