ELLSWORTH, WI – Pierce Pepin Cooperative Services’ broadband entity, SwiftCurrent Connect, is proud to announce its sponsorship of several mobile Wi-Fi hotspots for the Spring Valley Public Library (SVPL), expanding access to reliable high-speed internet for residents across the community. These hotspots will be available for checkout at no cost, helping bridge the digital divide for families, students, jobseekers, and anyone needing a dependable connection.
The partnership supports a growing need for flexible internet solutions. With increasing demands for remote work, online learning, telehealth appointments, and digital resources, the library’s hotspot program ensures that all community members, regardless of location or income, can stay connected.
“We are incredibly grateful for SwiftCurrent Connect’s support,” said Becky Manley, Spring Valley Public Library Director. “These hotspots make a real difference for our patrons, especially those who may not have reliable internet at home. This partnership allows us to offer more equitable access to technology throughout Spring Valley.”
SwiftCurrent Connect continues to invest in rural broadband expansion across western Wisconsin, delivering future-proof fiber-optic connectivity to homes and businesses. Sponsoring the Spring Valley Library’s hotspot program is one of many ways the cooperative-based provider supports digital access and community well-being.
