<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0px"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black;">According to the advocacy alert, “With additional broadband funding, libraries could provide even more services to the public via internet hotspots,

building – and that everyone is welcome to use their services. During the pandemic libraries have been going above and beyond to adapt to our changing world by expanding their resources and continuing to meet the needs of their users. Whether people visit
in person or virtually, libraries offer opportunities for everyone to explore new worlds and become their best selves through access to technology, multimedia content and educational programs.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
