We hope you can join us on Thursday as we discuss HOTSPOT LENDING with Jackson District Library Director, Sara Tackett. Details to join the meeting are below. The New Opportunities in Adult Programming virtual meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 3 at 2:00 pm Eastern. This week our topic is hotspot lending. LM currently has CARES Act grants funding available for digital inclusion efforts and that includes obtaining hotspots for lending as one use of the funds. Thursday we will hear about one library's hotspot lending program and also look at other hotspot lending best practices from around the country and find materials that you can use to set up your own lending program. We hope this session will give you some ideas for your own hotspot lending program. Do you already lend hotspots? If so, please attend and share your own best practices, plus your own do's and don'ts with your library colleagues.
