Mel-van features a publicly accessible wi-fi hotspot, allowing library staff to connect community members with City of Melbourne Libraries' digital collections and provide digital literacy support. This helps more people get online and boost their connectivity to services such as email, online government services, online banking, telehealth, streaming services, and other online learning platforms.
