Hours extended for library WiFi! Remember to practice safe social distancing

WiFi UPDATE 📡 Fairfax County Public Library has worked to increase the WiFi access time to 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. While our WiFi network was built for internal access, we have increased the signal where possible to provide limited outside coverage. Areas closer to the branches should provide the chance for WiFi connectivity — whether you're continuing educational coursework, keeping your business running, responding to the census or completing other online tasks while social distancing.
