on the federal Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) on Thursday, July 22 at 11:00 AM Eastern/10:00 AM Central. The American Library Association is working with Heartland Forward to host the session for libraries to make sure eligible households know how to take
advantage of the temporary Emergency Broadband Benefit, which provides discounts of up to $50 per month on internet service and an additional $100 credit for a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

<p style="margin:0in;line-height:13.65pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">In April, ALA Past President Julius C. Jefferson, Jr. said of EBB, “The American Library Association and library workers nationwide welcome the
creation of the Emergency Broadband Benefit program as one step among many needed to address longstanding barriers to broadband access and use. K-12 school, college and university, and public libraries see first-hand the digital chasms so many students, families,
and people of all ages have experienced.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

sign up for the program. The webinar will walk attendees through program eligibility and the enrollment process. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions to federal agency staff in advance or during the training.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
