[OPLINTECH] One week until the Fall FY2025 E-rate for Beginners Workshop!

[Christine Morris]

Greetings,

There is still one week to register for the Fall FY2025 E-rate for
Beginners Workshop. First-time filers and other beginners can learn more
about E-rate and how your library can benefit.

In this workshop Lorrie Germann, State E-rate Coordinator, will cover the
basics of the E-rate program to make sure you are fully oriented and
understand the opportunities available to you for funding. Not only can you
get funding for branch connections,* but there are also new opportunities
for funding hotspot equipment and services as well as funding for a variety
of internal network products and services.

The workshop will be online. This public library-specific session is
scheduled for Thursday, September 26.

*Libraries participating in the OPLIN managed branch connection project may
still want to attend to learn about other E-rate opportunities; to learn
more about the managed branch project, visit oplin.ohio.gov/mbc.
