ALA President Patricia “Patty” M. Wong writes: “We know our libraries are hubs of connectivity for communities that have no other access, and the disparity between the haves and have-nots in our digital age was laid bare during the first months of the pandemic. When libraries closed their physical buildings in spring 2020, users who relied on their broadband internet were cut off from a vital lifeline. Many libraries responded by leaving their Wi-Fi on around the clock or boosting their signals so patrons could access the internet from the parking lot. With greater awareness of the importance of broadband connectivity in our communities comes the responsibility of all library workers to advocate for digital equity.”
