Hello! 

Sharing from Library Journal Vendor News Roundup:

 

Microsoft has created a new program offering Windows licenses and its standard Office software suite for free to all public access computers in public libraries, following “sustained advocacy by ULC [the Urban Libraries Council], the Public Library Association, and major urban systems,” according to a ULC announcement. All libraries qualify, although the program applies only to public-access devices and does not include computers used primarily by library staff. Libraries can apply for the program here.


The Library of Michigan cannot endorse specific vendors or brands. Libraries should contact vendors and other experts for advice and to ensure that their choice reflects the unique needs of that library.

Always,
