More Wi-Fi hotspots are available at public libraries throughout Clallam County.
The Forks Library parking lot at 171 S. Forks Ave. is one of 15 locations in the state to offer free, temporary emergency internet service in the first phase of Drive-In WiFi Hotspots.
The WiFi hotspot is supported locally by the North Olympic Library System — which oversees public libraries in Port Angeles, Sequim, Clallam Bay and Forks — and WSU Clallam County Extension.
The emphasis is on student access, said Noah Glaude, assistant library director, but WiFi is available to all residents who need it for such reasons as job searches, telehealth, telework, unemployment filing, census participation and other uses.
