Leverage Federal Funds to Advance Digital Equity in Your Community Update

The federal government is making historic investments in advancing digital equity, literacy, and inclusion so every American can affordably access and successfully use high-speed internet access to achieve their economic, educational, and social goals. Libraries of all types are eligible to apply for some programs, while others are targeted to particular library types. Libraries are benefiting from these historic federal investments, like the Digital Equity Act, Affordable Connectivity Program outreach grants, etc. to support their library’s and community’s digital inclusion goals. It's not too late -- funding is still available! Learn how libraries are already benefiting from this historic investment and how your library can leverage this funding to support your library’s and community’s digital inclusion goals in the years to come.

An expert panel will highlight programs and partnerships libraries are currently undertaking with assistance from federal funding to meet their community's equity goals. They will also break down opportunities with actionable information and recommendations for how to best position your library for success with policymakers and community partners. Bring your questions and successes to share in this interactive session.
