Suffolk Libraries is committed to digital inclusion.
We aim to do this in a number of ways, including:
- Ensuring our staff provide friendly and knowledgeable support to our visitors
- Providing free WiFi in all of our libraries, as well as a number of internet-connected computers free for public use (with a library card)
- Working with local statutory and voluntary organisations to provide additional support to those wanting to learn more about how to use their devices and the internet
- The loan of devices including laptops and tablets for home use by customers
- The delivery of free data via SIM cards and data vouchers (currently Stowmarket only).
For more information about the support we offer, see below.

Devices and data
If you are in the Mid Suffolk or Babergh area, your local library might have iPads available to loan. Contact your local library to find out more.
