CONNECT YOUR COMMUNITY
100% of users surveyed say the Take the Internet Home with You initiative makes a difference in their lives.
Brenda credits the hotspot program with helping her maintain her employment. She often must work from home, but she does not have internet in her house. “I would really be stretching my finances if I had to add an internet connection to my monthly bills,” she said. “The hotspot program is wonderful!”
Since 2017, the DeKalb Library Foundation has provided the funding which allows DCPL to offer mobile hotspot devices for check out. Each year, thousands of patrons benefit from this special initiative. Annual survey results reveal many users have limited or no internet access in their homes.
Please participate in our September campaign to fund a connection to the internet for community members who may not have access in their home.
Donate between September 1 – 30.
