dc.description.abstract	The American Library Association welcomes the opportunity to comment on how libraries may leverage the strengths of the E-rate program to quickly address still-persistent connectivity gaps through the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF). As libraries constitute an essential thread in the nation’s digital safety net, we appreciate the need for urgent action to maximize the reach of this new $7.1 billion program while carefully balancing applicant burden with protections against waste, fraud or abuse.	en_US
