BATON ROUGE - Local officials and community leaders are taking steps to support residents as much as possible during the current health crisis.

According to an announcement Monday, BREC is partnering with community organizer, Emanuel "Boo" Milton to provide free WiFi to locals by way of various drive-in WiFi sites throughout the capital city. 

This initiative is designed to provide those who would normally make use of WiFi at EBR libraries with the same kind of free online access at a time when libraries are closed due to the health crisis. 

In an effort to continue practicing social distancing citizens are asked to remain in their cars while using drive-in WiFi services.

The sites listed below will offer drive-in WiFi Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. -8 p.m., Friday-Saturday from 9 a.m.- 6p.m., and Sunday from 2 p.m.-6 p.m.
