Learning, livelihoods in jeopardy with federal resolutions When severe weather like we’ve had these last two months prevented Bullitt County students from attending school full time, a crucial library hotspot lending program kept 30% of them connected

"We must prevent that divide from growing wider and let our Congress members know that library hotspot lending empowers our communities to learn, live, and prosperβ€”whether they’re freshmen, families, or farmers."
