Does this statement accurately depict your community?
“The lack of high speed broadband availability or broadband that is too slow or too costly is crippling Kansas communities.”
Your library is not alone in its need for higher speed broadband. Kansas libraries are the voice of need in their communities.
How can your voice be heard?
Attend one-day training in your Regional Library System.
Take home:
• a broadband advocacy message for your community;
• an action plan for expanding and sustaining high speed broadband access in your community; and
• a list of partners who can help you be successful.
