Thomas County Public Library System Happening - January 30, 2023

Happening at your library
THIS JUST IN!

Now & Forever  Our Wifi Just Got a Whole Lot Better!
All the Thomas County Public Library's wifi connection just became a whole lot better!  As of last week, every TCPLS library branch received a new Cisco Meraki wireless access point (five [5] were installed in the main Thomasville branch).  What does this mean for you?  Greater range of coverage (so no "dead-zones" in the library); faster download and upload speeds (87.2 mbps download & 93.2 mbps upload - higher than your average household speeds - things just got faster); and four (4) times the capability to maintain numerous devices.  Still working from home and need a quiet place?  Taking online classes and looking for a space to study?  Need to create a TikTok video to showcase how scholarly you are?  We have you covered!
