This program is made possible by a Public Library Association (PLA) Digital Literacy Workshop Incentive, sponsored by AT&T grant!

Powered by a contribution from AT&T, the Public Library Association (PLA) has selected more than 200 public libraries across 45 states to host digital literacy and ACP workshops. The PLA Digital Literacy Workshop Incentives, supported by AT&T support public libraries in their work improving digital skills and promoting broadband adoption among families and communities. The workshops leverage the online digital literacy courses, created by PLA in collaboration with AT&T, that are freely available to anyone through DigitalLearn.org and AT&T ScreenReady. DigitalLearn.org online courses and training materials were developed with and for library staff and their patrons.

Glen Ellyn Public Library will use funds provided by the 2023 grant to provide free Android tablets to 36 Glen Ellyn Public Library cardholders as part of the Digital Literacy Workshop series.
