Accessing wifi

Using the Polkaspots service

Most of our sites use a service called Polkaspots.

To use wifi you need to

• Connect to the wireless network called Suffolk Libraries (this is just the same as connecting to any other wireless network)
• Open a browser (such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Internet Explorer) and visit any web page.
• You should see a welcome page. Enter a valid email address and click the ‘Click here to login’ button:

• You’ll then see this screen:

You can now use the internet as you normally would.

Note you can use the same email address for two devices, such as a laptop and a mobile phone.

Using the O2 service

Brandon, Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich County and Lowestoft libraries use a wifi service provided by O2. See the O2 website for intructions.
