September 25, 2024, 11:00 am PT, Learn Without Limits: the New E-rate Hotspot Lending Program<https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YzRiexfWTFGk6zeJfdV2dw> (ALA, COSLA, ULC)
Many individuals lacking home internet turn to their library for access. During the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) program - and before - libraries sought solutions to provide flexible off-premises Wi-Fi access to their patrons. Now, as part of the FCC's Learn Without Limits initiative, Wi-Fi hotspot devices and service are eligible for E-rate funding. While the program builds upon the success of the ECF, there are many new program rules.

For libraries, applying for E-rate can be challenging, but there are many in our community to call on for help. Brought to you by the American Library Association, the Chief Officers of State Library Agencies, the Urban Libraries Council, and the Association for Rural and Small Libraries, this webinar offers discussion from library E-rate experts on the new E-rate hotspot lending guidelines and starting or building upon a hotspot lending program in your library. Whether your library already uses E-rate funding or your library is considering E-rate for the first time, this webinar will discuss the new program rules and consider ways for libraries to best leverage the new program.

Wednesday, September 18, 12:00p PT: Crafting and maintaining effective patron policies for community success<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/crafting-and-maintaining-effective-patron-policies.html> (WebJunction)
Effective library policies are essential for setting clear expectations, defining responsibilities, and establishing boundaries for both patrons and staff. This session will cover the ten most common patron-facing policies and offer guidance on selecting and tailoring them to meet your library and community needs for safe and effective operation. Using a Code of Conduct policy as an example, we'll discuss how to avoid policies driven by trauma or drama, ensuring they are clear, accessible, and enforceable. Additionally, we'll explore best practices for policy management, including the importance of regular reviews by directors, boards, and staff, to maintain accountability and relevance.
