Would Your Library Benefit from E-Rate Discounts for Internet Costs?
Are you wondering if your library would benefit from the federal E-Rate program that provides discounts for internet costs? E-Rate subsides for internet access and fiber operations can range from 40-90% of your internet costs. All libraries in the system are also automatically given a substantial budget to upgrade internal connections such as managed WiFi. Are you curious about the steps to take to get started? This workshop is designed for library directors and staff who want to find out what the E-Rate program can offer and what is required to take advantage of it. Bring your questions and concerns.
