Hi all,
The New York Public Library (NYPL) is offering a limited number of free wireless modems to students in NYPL’s Out-of-School-Time programs and Adult Literacy classes who do not have Internet access at home. The program enables eligible families to “check out” Internet service from the Library for 6 months—absolutely free. Both the device and monthly service fees are fully paid by NYPL. The program is intended to help NYPL students access online resources and continue educational activities at home. You can see more about this program at http://hotspot.nypl.org/
Also read more about the program and others like it in this article from NBC NYC Libraries Pioneer Internet Hot Spot Lending
Do you know of any similar programs?
