There may be a way to accommodate this patron’s request. Metal shelves full of books are effective at attenuating WiFi signals. It’s possible there may be dead spots in your library. It may be worth trying to identify those spots and directing this patron to them.

A part of me understands the desire for a snarky response to someone’s request that a library stop serving all of its other patrons in order to be able to serve one, but perhaps the patron making the request does not understand exactly how libraries rely heavily on this technology for their day-to-day service. It could be a learning opportunity all around if the communication is done right.

> This was a question from a few years ago (I think I remember it was from Ted Smith, who's now retired from Newport PL). The consensus was that that turning off the wifi wasn't a reasonable accommodation for this individual and that a variety of outreach activities were offered. It's a difficult situation, but wifi is an essential library service and turning it off on a regular basis (days and times) would not be reasonable.

> This was a question from a few years ago (I think I remember it was from Ted Smith, who?s now retired from Newport PL). The consensus was that that turning off the wifi wasn?t a reasonable accommodation for this individual and that a variety of outreach activities were offered. It?s a difficult situation, but wifi is an essential library service and turning it off on a regular basis (days and times) would not be reasonable.
