“E-rate: Basic Training” has been scheduled in locations across the state and online.
Description: What is E-rate? How can my library benefit from E-rate? How do I apply for E-rate? E-rate is a federal program that provides discounts to assist schools and libraries in the United States to obtain affordable telecommunications and Internet access. Christa Burns, State E-rate Coordinator, will cover the basics of E-rate and any changes that have been made to the program this year. For the in-person sessions, there will also be hands-on time, when you can get assistance completing your E-rate forms. This session will be useful to libraries who have never applied for E-rate, libraries who are new to E-rate and current E-rate libraries who just want a refresher on what E-rate is all about.
