The San Diego Public Library Foundation
announced a series of initiatives Monday aimed at expanding technological
access for the county’s most vulnerable residents amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The foundation has funded three
initiatives to provide computer access for those who lack broadband internet
during a time when the pandemic has made it a necessity for school and work.
According to the foundation, about
100,000 children lack internet access, primarily among those living in the
southern and northeastern parts of the county.
One initiative expands on a program to
provide technology that students need for remote learning, which began by
giving out 240 Chromebooks.
Computers have also been donated to participants in the San Diego Public Library’s Career Online High School program and its READ/San Diego adult literacy program. The library foundation said both programs lost access to computer labs when the pandemic led to library closures. READ MORE ➤➤
