A quick sneak peek at Half moon Bay Library's newest laptops

Step into any library and what greets you is pin-drop silence and rows upon rows of neatly stacked books on gleaming shelves. However, when you step into Half Moon Bay Library on a lazy afternoon you’ll be pleasantly surprised to notice that the library does have books that are interspersed with computers. Every single computer is occupied with someone or the other browsing the Internet, busy checking emails, or gleefully playing any of the several exciting games available.

The World Wide Web has indeed shrunk the world, and it lets people keep in touch with friends, acquaintances and others who happen to be online. The library system in the Coastside is providing commendable service by providing free Internet access to anyone who is in need. The officials working with the San Mateo Library System are a dedicated lot who wish to take this service to an all new level soon.

A $150,000 pilot program, the brainchild of the countrywide library system is intent on loaning out  laptops and computers, and what’s more is that patrons can even borrow a computer and keep it at home for a week, just like they would any book from the library. These computers, each costing around $700, come with 4G mobile Internet hotspots,providing instant access to high-speed Internet service in any area that is within cell phone range, even in far flung fringe areas in the vicinity of Pescadero, La Honda and Montara.

Set to be launched by the end of the month, this program is already gaining popularity as thenew Wi-Fi Hotspots, and will have 130 Dell laptops spread out in 12 branches. The library system has also acquired 200 subscriptions for Wi-Fi Hotspots, including data subscriptions. All a person will need to borrow a computer/laptop is a library card, according to Nicole Pasini, library services manager.

The Half Moon Bay Library is set to receive 10 laptops on an experimental basis in the pilot phase. The library caters to a diverse group of residents, considering their income levels and the distance at which they are located. The branch plans to service a perimeter of 270 sq miles, even servicing patrons located quite far away. This program is meant to bring relief to people settled in rural areas, including the South Coast where access to the Internet is limited. The Wi-Fi Hotspots program is conceived as one that will certainly connect as many people as possible through the Internet.
