#126 If you still charge for computer access, stop

Some libraries still have restrictive computer use policies in place from the days before smartphones and laptops were common, including charging users a fee to access computers. However, those same libraries almost universally offer free wi-fi. If your library is offering wi-fi to users for free but charging patrons to use library computers, you are essentially offering free internet access to everyone but the poorest residents in your community, since they are the ones who don’t have their own devices to bring to the library.
