As I understand it, your library network is
unencrypted. If so, it is irrelevant whether
the card does encryption or not.

Your risks would be similar to browsing the
internet without a firewall. Are you running
any servers whereby a remote attacker could
gain access? Are you running as root?

I believe the maximum range for an Airo 350 is
around a kilometer. The range is less if there
are any obstructions (buildings, rain, etc.).

Cheers,
