Building Digital Literacy

Being fluent in the digital space is helpful, if not necessary, today and being behind is a disadvantage. That’s why the Library Foundation supports programs that not only teach important job skills like coding, but also expand internet access to ensure everyone in our community can get online today. Closing the digital divide in our county is a smart investment and an important part of our work.

Bridging the Digital Divide

Doing research and homework means getting online, and students without internet access can struggle to keep up with school assignments. The Library Foundation continues to secure funding for students to have access to Wi-Fi hotspots and Chromebook bundles. With more than 1,000 people on the waiting list, there is a significant and ongoing need for this program.

SLCL's popular Coding 101 program gives kids ages 10–14 the chance to learn basic coding skills and take home a free Chromebook. Access to programming like this inspires children to investigate career paths in STEM related fields.
