We've been considering it, too, and discussed it at our last library co-op meeting.  This made NPR this past week, too, so it hit ALA Think Tank (Facebook).  I think it's a great idea and a powerful grant proposal, especially if neighboring rural libraries apply together.

Hello,

I'm wondering if any Michigan libraries participate in mobile hot spot lending programs, and if anyone is aware of grant opportunities for such programs. Any and all information about your hot spot lending programs would be helpful!

Thank you,

Dillon
