[OPLINTECH] Required OPLIN E-rate forms from ALL libraries

[Mandy Knapp]

Hello all--

Just a reminder to fill out this form if you have not already done so. It's
easy: from any library computer, go to https://oplin.org/erate and follow
the instructions there. (You must be in the library to access this site.)

Let me know if you have any questions or issues,
Mandy Knapp
