Friends:
All Indian libraries currently providing Internet facility can also
extend/provide
WiFi free access to their users. WiFi is now a matured technology and even
a non-technical person can put the WiFi setup in less than 10K after some
efforts.
Some helpful links for all interested in WiFi:

Who will be first to announce the free WiFi service in their library in
India?

Here is what is happening in the UK. Best wishes.

The DTI has put its plan to roll out Wi-Fi hot spots to libraries across

London's Earls Court on Wednesday, e-commerce minister Stephen Timms said
a trial is now running at 10 libraries.
"We want to understand how popular it really is," said Timms, adding that
three trial sites are charging for access while the other seven are
offering it free."
