Jefferson Jr., calls the program “one step among many needed to address longstanding barriers to broadband access and use. … Library staff have worked tirelessly to keep our communities and campuses connected by extending our Wi-Fi access, lending hotspots and devices, calling and assisting people trying to use online vaccine portals, and expanding digital resources.
