The Idaho Commission for Libraries received a $6,305,226.45 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) through the State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant Program (CFDA 11.032). The grant funding will be used to implement the state's digital equity plan, including activities such as cybersecurity and digital skills training, awarding sub-grants to support local and regional technical support, device refurbishment centers, and programs providing devices to underserved populations. Additionally, the grant will fund the creation and expansion of digital education internship programs with Idaho's local education agencies and higher education institutions. The proposed projects are expected to result in improved basic digital skills, increased device availability, and greater access to digital resources in public libraries and anchor institutions across the state of Idaho.
