Is there Wi-Fi for library users?
'Wi-Fi' is pronounced 'WI-fi' in Italian (not 'Why-fy'). Stress 'u-TEN-ti'.
Ask this when you want to use the internet during your library visit. Many Italian public libraries offer free Wi-Fi to registered users or daily visitors.
'Utenti' = users (of a service). 'Per gli utenti' = for users. 'Wi-Fi' is the standard Italian term — 'connessione wireless' is the more formal Italian equivalent but rarely used in conversation. Some Italian libraries require you to log in with your library card number.

Italian public libraries have embraced digital services extensively since the 2010s. The 'Piano Nazionale Biblioteche' (National Libraries Plan) has invested in making Italian libraries digital access points for communities, particularly in underserved areas. 'Biblioteche senza muri' (libraries without walls) is an Italian initiative bringing digital library services to rural communities.
