Wifi arrives in Pershore Library

Following a successful pilot in one of Worcestershire's libraries, the County Council is launching a new free Wifi service in Pershore Library.

The new service allows users to surf the net more easily and more quickly than ever before.  Visitors can also access the internet free of charge on the People's Network computer which is available in all of Worcestershire's libraries. 

Jenny Brumhead, Library Manager, said: 'It is important that libraries stay up-to-date and use current technologies where possible to extend the services they offer, meet customer expectations and appeal to a wide audience.

"We hope that the availability of secure, free wireless internet access at Pershore Library will offer a valuable service to existing customers and new visitors and help to support those who are studying, working or looking for work. We look forward to other libraries across Worcestershire offering the same service in the future."

Malvern, Redditch, Rubery, St John's, Stourport, Tenbury, Upton, Worcester and Wythall libraries all currently have Wifi installed.
