The Emergency Broadband Benefit is a temporary program that provides a discount of up to $50 or $75 per month to lower the cost of broadband service for low-income households. To help spread the word in North Carolina communities, the State Library is offering an online information session for front-line staff. Attendees will receive an overview of the program and will learn who is eligible, how individuals can sign up, and practical outreach strategies and materials. The session will end with an opportunity to ask questions.
To increase reach in their communities, libraries are welcome to invite other organizations that interact directly with potentially eligible households.
