The workshop below is a fee-based opportunity but since there is so much information out there I still thought it worth pushing out to the library community. LM is also continuing to offer additional webinars over the summer about connectivity funding but some of you may want to have alternatives or additional chances to hear about funds.  Please see below from SHLB.
