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.
