Free wifi in first floor reading room but alas, NOT A SINGLE OUTLET (!!), so you are stuck relying battery power only. This is the library with the two marble lions sitting outside the front doors (named "patience" and "fortitude" for the trivia buffs out there); beautiful (historic) building with guided tours that are worth taking after your laptop battery konks out, and they also have a great gift shop.
