Tools to Identify Service for Underserved and Not-served Communities (Libraries4de) Online

Libraries play a vital role in closing the digital divide, but ensuring equitable access to reliable internet can be challenging. According to the American Library Association, 47% of libraries have a hotspot checkout program. This 30-minute webinar will explore tools (coverage maps, 4G vs 5G devices, software) and strategies libraries can use to assess wireless coverage gaps, identify underserved and unserved communities, and expand connectivity solutions. We will also share a real-world example of how they worked with a wireless broadband provider to map resources and leverage wireless affordable and best-in-class technology to bridge the gap for their community.
