Special Session: Beyond the Parking Lot! (Special Session) - $7Billion ECF Impact on Libraries
Channel: Libraries In Response
Date: 08/04/2021

The $7.1 Billion ECF will reimburse 100% the purchase of “eligible equipment,” “advanced telecommunications or information services,” or both. It may be used by patrons outside the library location. However, ECF support may not exceed an amount that the FCC will determine to be reasonable.
  
Join our special session to explore definitions, limitations and opportunities under this $7.1 Billion appropriation. Tune in to help your library prepare to take advantage of this historic opportunity to extend connectivity in new places and spaces in the community.
