Digital Navigator programs can help expand libraries’ capacity to help your patrons access and use technology. Now is an especially opportune time to start or refresh a Digital Navigator program at your library.
Increased interest in this model from potential community partners, paired with limited-time funding opportunities, can help libraries establish a sustainable service.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- The basics of the Digital Navigator model – what it is, how it works, and how it has evolved.
- How libraries and their partners are using Digital Navigators to support patrons’ technology access and literacy.
- How the federal Digital Equity Act unlocks funding and support that may impact Digital Navigator opportunities.
