any good libary should have wifi, or if not mcdonalds or starbucks but be warned....heres the science bit anyone offering free wifi do not off secured internet access so stay away from things like on line banking or anything that requires a password...they are mnormally the wifi's that hackers will get your details from.....look out for HTTPS:www. and so on (this is the same one)rather than just HTTP:www.

What mobile phone have you got? can you turn the phone into a personal hotspot? example i have an iphone i can turn the personal hotspot on via my general settings on the phone.. that then shows up on my laptop as a wifi connection.. i then have internet. so if u got an iphone ur laughing all the way. or if your phone supports personal hotspots.
