SUFFOLK, Va. - Did someone say, free!?
One of the most important services that the Suffolk Public Library provides to the public is access to the internet and technology. This was disrupted when the city s buildings closed due to COVID-19.
As a response, Suffolk Public Library introduced Free Wi-Fi in the Parks in the summer of 2020.
âToday, the program is more popular than ever! Anecdotally, I can tell you that our primary customer base seems to be families, especially homeschoolers and teenagers, says Community Engagement Librarian Matthew D. Thompson, Ph.D.
