E-Rate filing begins next week

E-Rate is a program through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that allows schools and libraries to receive discounts on connectivity such as telecommunications and internet access.  By funding discounts on connectivity, E-Rate allows schools and libraries to keep pace with constantly evolving technology.


The filing window for E-Rate applications opens next Monday, January 9th at 11 A.M. If your library or school is eligible, now is the time to apply. If you have any questions of need help with the process, contact Amber Gregory, Coordinator of E-Rate Services, amber@library.arkansas.gov, 501-682-8576.  For more information, you can also visit the E-Rate page of our website: http://www.library.arkansas.gov/Erate/Pages/default.aspx
