Our Mission to Promote Digital Equity and Literacy

At the Jersey City Free Public Library (JCFPL), we aim to ensure digital equity by providing resources and fostering an environment that promotes digital literacy and access for all. We firmly believe in empowering our community members to navigate the digital world confidently through a broad range of services, including free WiFi, public computers, and comprehensive learning programs. By offering these resources and more, we aim to bridge the digital divide and foster a digitally proficient community, affirming our commitment to democratizing digital access and skills.


Public Computers

We offer free access to public computers at all our branches, ensuring everyone in our community can access digital services, search for jobs, perform school work, and more.


Wireless Printing

At JCFPL, we understand that only some have a printer at home. We’re bridging the gap by providing wireless printing services to all our patrons. Whether you need to print an important document or your child’s homework, we’re here to help.

Tech to Go: Laptop & Hotspot Lending Program

Our laptop kits are designed to provide hands-on experience with the latest tech devices. Each kit includes a laptop bag, a Chromebook with built in LTE, a charging cable, and a quick start guide. These kits enable you to learn and explore quickly, boosting your digital literacy skills.

We also provide hotspots; however, they may not always be available for checkout due to their popularity among our patrons. We recommend that you contact your local branch library to confirm the availability of a hotspot before planning to check one out.
