WIRELESS IN THE LIBRARY

The Door County Library has wireless Internet access available to our library patrons at all our libraries: Sturgeon Bay, Sister Bay/Liberty Grove, Baileys Harbor, Egg Harbor, Ephraim, Fish Creek, Forestville and Washington Island.

How do I use wireless at the library?
The library's wireless network is open to all visitors. No special encryption settings, user names, or passwords are required. The name of the library wireless network is: LibraryGuest.
Library printers are not available to wireless users, unless they transfer material to e-mail, a portable memory device, or online documents and use a library Internet computer to access/print from it.

Since I'm using my own equipment, do the general rules about computer use still apply to me?
Yes - you still cannot disrupt other patrons, as described in our policies. Any activities deemed illegal apply to you whether or not you are on a library-owned computer or your own computer. Any illegal activity will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Can the library help me configure my computer?
No - everyone's computer is different and you are responsible for knowing how to configure your own equipment.
The Door County Library cannot be responsible for any changes you make to your computer's settings.
If you need additional assistance, you may need to contact the manufacturers of your hardware or software. The Library Staff cannot provide any help beyond this FAQ page.

What about virus protection and security?
It is solely the responsibility of the wireless device owner/user to provide anti-virus protection, and to configure their laptop/PDA settings to provide the appropriate security settings to control access from other wireless devices within the Library and the Internet itself. The Door County Library cannot and will not take responsibility for damages incurred for incorrect, insufficient or incomplete security settings; or lack of adequate or up-to-date virus protection. Wireless users assume all risks in this regard.

Hours of Operation
Wireless access is available at all hours.
