Wayland Library Opens Outdoor Internet Café

WAYLAND, MA — You can now use the internet at the Wayland Public Library — but don't forget your coat.

The library is now offering an outdoor internet café, one person at a time. Under the program, patrons can check out a laptop, and then sit at the tables outside the front door and surf the web on the library Wi-Fi network.

The Wayland library building has been closed for months due to coronavirus, but the outdoor internet café is one more way librarians are trying to keep service steady. The library has been offering online programs, including a trivia night and book groups, throughout the pandemic. To-go service has been in place since the beginning of the summer.

You can see a list of online events and resources on the library website. Also this week, the large drop boxes outside the building reopened for returns.
