Erate allows us to use the super speedy wifi and technology services that our patrons rely on. It’s a very important program for schools and libraries and invariably saves significant tax dollars for schools and libraries.

NEW: The FCC has officially published its new proposals for E-Rate, which include possible elimination of this essential program. We need to make our voices heard. You can submit a formal comment to the agency urging them to protect E-Rate, which provides broadband discounts to libraries and schools in every state.

Check out our new comment filing template and more resources at our E-Rate campaign home page - comments to the FCC are due October 13, 2026: ala.org/erate

And you still have time to tell Congress to . Take action now: action.ala.org/campaign/saveourerate/
