County of Amherst issued the following announcement on Oct. 13
Are you unable to get reliable internet in your home? The Library can help with that!
Both Amherst County Library branches provide free internet hotspots for library cardholders to checkout, take home, and use for a month at a time. These hotspots use the Verizon data network to provide wireless internet and can provide reliable internet in many homes that do not have internet coverage. To check out an internet hotspot or to learn more, visit the Amherst or Madison Heights Library.
The Amherst County Board of Supervisors is committed to bringing broadband internet access to all of Amherst County. They have dedicated significant portions of both CARES Act funds as well as ARPA funds to this project. The Board of Supervisors expresses its thanks to the Amherst County Library and other organizations that have stepped in to help provide internet access as we work toward county-wide broadband.
