dc.description.abstract | We appreciate that H.R. 2 includes provisions that would: • Connect Americans to affordable internet access by expanding hotspot and device lending by libraries and by bolstering digital inclusion initiatives. • Modernize school library facilities by providing needed funding to improve school facilities, including school library spaces. • Support green library facilities by increasing the energy efficiency of public buildings and tax-exempt entities such as libraries. • Extend and enhance financing mechanisms for library facilities such as the New Markets Tax Credit. We encourage the House to advance these provisions as a key step toward modernizing America’s library facilities and closing the digital divide. | en_US |
