Recent Updates From EveryLibrary
EveryLibrary shared the following with NewsBreaks:The EveryLibrary Institute hosted a webinar [on July 12] to provide actionable guidance on how library stakeholders can ensure their inclusion in state-level Digital Equity Act (DEA) plans. The webinar aimed to empower state leaders to actively participate in the planning process and maximize funding opportunities for libraries. Led by Liz Gabbitas and John Chrastka, the webinar focused on strategies for stakeholder engagement and offered practical guidance on pre-planning for the DEA and Broadband, Equity, and Deployment (BEAD) programs. Attendees should learn valuable knowledge on navigating the planning process, advocating for library-centric plan components, and contributing to the development of comprehensive digital equity plans. Watch the webinar, It’s Time to Comment: Ensuring Libraries Are in Your State’s Digital Equity Plan, and read more about it on the EveryLibrary Institute’s website. In addition, EveryLibrary published a new report, “Unpacking 2023 Legislation of Concern for Libraries and Education,” which “delves into the state-level legislation that has a significant impact on libraries across the United States. It aims to provide crucial support and assistance to state library associations in their future legislative advocacy campaigns.”
