Digital Literacy

Civic Engagement, Workforce, Economic Development, Health, Education

Together America’s public libraries and American Job Centers are teaching digital skills that are essential for job searches and more.

The Digital Divide denotes the gap between information technology haves and have-nots. In those early years
of the information age, experts in both the public and private sectors questioned the impact of this divide on
society—what would happen to those left out of digital life—the “have-nots”?

Everyone deserves access to  the social, civic, educational and economic opportunities the Internet provides.

The Louisiana Libraries Connecting People to Their Potential project plans to deploy more than 760 computer workstations to meet the needs of every library in the state library system.

Project Type: Public Computer Center
