| | | | Pratt library service expansion Happy Monday, Baltimore. Have you recovered from the Ravens' nail-biting, zero-hour win against the Browns? First off, I'd love to wish a happy Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas to all those who celebrate it. You might already know that I'm basically obsessed with how other South Asian peoples experience the world, so if you have or had any plans for either holiday, please feel free to let me know. Second, if you haven't seen our RealLIST Engineers piece, I encourage you to check out the 2022 roster and, if you happen to know any of these technologists or others who should be on next year's list, drop a line. We're always interested in your recommendations for excellent engineers and community builders! Lastly, here's some news that might impact you, your neighbors or anybody who needs public Wi-Fi: it was recently announced that the Enoch Pratt Public Library system, with the support of local telecom Crown Castle, expanded its outdoor Wi-Fi access to branches in Canton, Federal Hill and Northwest Baltimore/Reisterstown Road. That brings the number of branches that offer grounds-adjacent, 24/7 Wi-Fi access to 16. The Pratt Library plans to expand this access to all of its branches as part of a broader plan to make sure residents can use its public, free Wi-Fi even if their individual branch has closed. What do you think of the initiative? Have you used this outdoor Wi-Fi near your own library branch?
