<p class="paragraph" style="vertical-align:baseline"><span class="normaltextrun"><span style="color:black">Libraries play a key role in ensuring internet access for all. When the physical library building is closed or use is limited, providing internet access
requires new tools and resources. Hot spots can be part of the solution. MCLS is now an affinity partner with Granite, a provider of hot spots and data plans. MCLS is referring libraries to Granite. The purchase will be between the library and Granite and
MCLS will provide libraries with the MCLS designated Granite contact. Libraries interested in learning more should contact MCLS Group Purchasing, services@mcls.org or (800) 530-9019 ext 401. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="color:black"> Thank
