Join the Public Library Association (PLA) tomorrow, October 12 at 1:00
p.m., for a free informational session about the *2023 Technology Survey
<http://americanlibraryassociation.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMTI2ODg4NSZwPTEmdT0xMTI1MTM4MzcwJmxpPTEwNDg3NjU0OA/index.html>*.
This survey will help us measure and share emerging trends around tech
resources, infrastructure, digital literacy, staff, and budget—and *your
library's participation matters*!



Presenters will share how results from the survey have been critical to
advancing digital equity initiatives from the local to national level. The
data gathered in 2023 will also shed light on how the field has evolved in
the past three years and help position libraries for new broadband funding
opportunities in 2024.

Survey participants will be able to access their data and compare results
to peer- and national-level data in PLA's Benchmark
<http://americanlibraryassociation.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xMTI2ODg4NSZwPTEmdT0xMTI1MTM4MzcwJmxpPTEwNDg3NjU0OQ/index.html>.

coordinator—should complete the survey by logging in to the library’s
