The Lake Park Library is letting its patients borrow more than books. Since the spring, it also has loaned out laptops and Wi-Fi hotspots. The computers are available for four hours at a time and must be used at the library, on Park Avenue next to Town Hall. Patrons who don't have internet access at home can borrow the hotspots for a week at a time. Some larger libraries also offer these services, but Lake Park’s directors say they took on these services despite its small size to help patrons bridge the digital divide.
