The use of IMLS CARES Act funding to upgrade Internet connectivity in the library or offer such connectivity to households has raised questions on compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA).2 To help answer these questions, American Library Association (ALA) staff have worked closely with the ALA E-rate Task Force3 to offer the guidance contained in this document. Note: This guidance represents ALA's interpretation of the law; ALA does not speak for or represent IMLS.

Reed, Jack
Mr. REED. Mr. President, to help libraries
respond to and recover from the
COVID–19 pandemic and continue providing
communities with needed services,
resources, technology, and
broadband access, I am introducing the
Library Stabilization Fund Act along
with Senators BROWN, BOOKER,
BLUMENTHAL, UDALL, CARDIN, WARREN,
WHITEHOUSE, HEINRICH, VAN HOLLEN,
MENENDEZ, WYDEN, HIRANO, and MARKEY.
Our bill would provide the $2 billion
the American Library Association
has estimated is necessary for a library
stabilization fund under the Institute
of Museum and Library Services
(IMLS). urge our colleagues to join us in
pressing for the inclusion of the Library
Stabilization Fund Act in the
next COVID–19 response package.
