Public Libraries We are partnering with the State Library of North Carolina and North Carolina library systems to develop and implement a holistic, replicable and scalable model to equip public libraries to address the K-12 homework gap in their communities. Leveraging statewide and local partnerships, this project equips libraries to simultaneously address the four primary challenges contributing to the homework gap: Broadband access Affordable broadband service Access to a digital device at a student’s home Digital literacy training The model will demonstrate how public libraries can help close the homework gap and increase broadband adoption. The partner libraries include: Robeson County Public Library Avery-Mitchell-Yancey Regional Library System Beaufort-Martin-Hyde Regional Library System Caswell County Public Library The project is made possible by funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
