The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is now providing free wifi for use by the public. Right now, the Main branch downtown is covered and rollout to other branches will begin October 27th. This page will track the progress of the rollout.
The wifi is free to use. Patrons must provide an email address and agree to the library's standard Internet Use Policy. (The email address can be fake, the library doesn't actually email you.) The wifi connection does pass through the library's content filter and cannot be unfiltered. Patrons wishing to use unfiltered internet will need to make a reservation on one of the library's workstations.
As they are converted, library branches will no longer be Cincinnati Bell Wifi hotspots.

Yay!
Boo.
I wish I could still have the option to use Cincinnati Bell wifi here--with this new one, I am unable to access the site that I use constantly, because it is blocked. (No, it is not obscene, either--it is an innocent German chat site that I use to practice my German).
I miss my German friends and I guess I will have to skip the library and go elsewhere from now on.... pity.
