Learn how New Jersey is leveraging existing services and resources along with a historic amount of funding for broadband to bridge the digital divide for underserved populations. Representatives from the New Jersey State Library, New Jersey Office of Broadband Connectivity, and National Telecommunications and Information Administration will provide updates on the work being done to ensure access to affordable, reliable broadband and achieve digital equity. Libraries, already trusted partners locally, are well positioned to support the state’s work promoting broadband adoption, sharing options that make home internet affordable, providing digital navigators, and teaching digital literacy. This session will cover the work done by New Jersey to date and plans for the future, including potential sources of funding that libraries can tap into.
