WIFI BENCHES
Have you seen these WIFI benches around town?!?!
With funding provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library of Michigan (LM), the Newaygo Library recently placed three WIFI-enabled, solar-powered charging benches in downtown Newaygo.
Placement of these benches extended the digital reach of the library beyond its campus, thereby providing 24/7 connectivity to downtown residents, local restaurant and business traffic; and to tourists and business travelers.
In cooperation with the City, one bench was placed at Linda’s Chapel near the Newaygo Post Office; one was placed near Timbertown Coffee Co.; and the third was installed in front of the renovated Newaygo County Museum & Heritage Center.
These benches allow users to charge their devices by plugging in or through touch-free charging. Each is able to simultaneously connect up to 16 devices at a time to free WIFI.
