Internet access

The Library offers free, unsecured wifi access to everyone.

The Edwardsville Public Library also has 24 desktop computers & 10 laptops available for public use. Patrons have a two hour limit per day. The computer labs close 15 minutes before the library. All computers are protected with antivirus & deepfreeze software, which will wipe a computer clean after every patron use. This also means that any data saved to Library computers will be lost after your session has ended.
