Show Notes

On this episode of Connected Nation, we talk with those behind a partnership that’s helping to connect thousands of people across Rhode Island who are stuck in the Digital Divide - in the midst of the pandemic.  
 
Also, we discuss a network of nonprofits that is quietly tackling research and education issues across the country AND explore the ways the pandemic has changed how library systems operate—perhaps forever.
