Bonneville County Library District Expands Digital Outreach with Chromebook Donation

The Bonneville County Library District is set to enhance their digital outreach program with the recent donation of 20 Chromebooks and accessories from the Idaho Commission for Libraries. The district aims to bridge the digital divide providing digital skills training and tech support to individuals who lack access to devices and require additional assistance with digital skills.

Stephanie Bailey-White, the Idaho state librarian with the Idaho Commission for Libraries, expressed enthusiasm for the new pilot program, highlighting its potential to address the digital divide in the community. The library district’s initiative seeks to empower individuals who may not have access to technology, ensuring they have necessary skills to navigate the digital landscape.

The donation of Chromebooks and accessories will enable the Bonneville County Library District to offer valuable resources for their digital outreach program. These devices will provide community members with the opportunity to improve their digital literacy and stay connected in an increasingly technology-driven world.

By expanding their digital outreach program, the library district aims to provide much-needed support to individuals who lack access to devices and require assistance with digital skills. Offering digital skills training and tech support will empower community members to confidently use technology for various purposes, such as job searches, online learning, and communication.

Through this program, the Bonneville County Library District will create an inclusive environment where individuals can develop the digital skills needed to thrive in today’s society. The Chromebooks and accessories donated the Idaho Commission for Libraries mark a significant step towards achieving this goal.
