Free WiFi at town library

July 3, 2004

NH Business Review Staff,

The Amherst Town Library now offers free wireless Internet access for library patrons.

The way the new system works is that people with wireless laptop computers will be able to access the Internet from most tables or chairs in the library and even some areas outside the building.

Because the library uses the WiFi standard, to use the new service the laptops must have built-in WiFi or patrons must have a WiFi PC card. Access to wall outlets is limited so it is recommended that the laptop’s battery be fully charged.

Wireless enables the library to offer this service without having to go through the expense of upgrading and installing new wiring.

For more information, contact library Director Natasha Casteel at 673-2288 or ncasteel@amherst.lib.nh.us.

The next evolution of workplace well-being

For a long time, workplace wellness was viewed through a fairly narrow lens: reminders to schedule an annual physical, a blood pressure screening, maybe a gym reimbursement. Those efforts still matter. But “wellness” has expanded, because the way we work and live has changed.
