Hi all,

I'm happy to announce this collaborative effort in Arizona:

Cisco To Install Public WiFi at Arizona Libraries
https://azgovernor.gov/governor/news/2020/05/cisco-install-public-wifi-arizona-libraries


"By providing public internet access, computers, online resources, and
digital skills training, libraries ensure that all Arizonans can meet
their needs in today's online world," said Arizona Secretary of State
Katie Hobbs. "These additional access points will help rural libraries
extend connectivity options to those affected by the digital divide."

Parking lot wifi is by no means a long-term solution, but this project
was a great opportunity to support libraries' capacity for digital
services and to highlight the role that libraries continue to play as
critical anchor institutions at the state level.
