NYC LIBRARY PROGRAM EXPANDS THROUGH GOOGLE DONATION

摘要

New York City's three library systems and Google have announced a $1 million donation from Google for a library program lending Wi-Fi devices to New Yorkers to use at home. The Library Hotspot program gives families, many lacking broadband access, the opportunity to borrow free Wi-Fi devices from their local libraries. The program was successfully piloted by The New York Public Library last summer, when families at four branches in the Bronx and Staten Island were able to borrow devices for months at a time.
