Addressing Digital Equity at New Jersey Public Libraries

In the coming years, public libraries across the U.S. will be eligible for the 2.75 billion Digital Equity Act federal funding that is a part of the federal Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act (IIJA). Digital equity initiatives developed by New Jersey libraries and librarians can lead efforts to help close the digital divide. Four panelists will discuss their work toward digital equity and inclusion in a moderated session focused on digital equity and digital inclusion.
