Sessions are free and available only to members of the Michigan library community. Registrants will receive instructions and a link to attend the session directly from PCI after they register.

Your community needs online access more than ever. But people often need multiple types of support to get there - an Internet connection, a computer, and help learning to use technology.

Digital Navigators is a nationally successful model that addresses these complex needs with a one-stop service. Learn how-to start a program at your library and help your community connect.

In this interactive and informative, you will learn:

• How the library can impact digital equity and digital inclusion
• The elements of a successful Digital Navigators program
• Tools and further resources for developing Digital Navigators at your library

PCI Webinars are recorded and available to members of the Michigan library community in the Library of Michigan's Niche Staff Skills Academy about a week after they air. New webinars will be in the New category for several weeks. You do not need to register for a webinar in order to view it later in the Staff Skills Academy.

This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Library of Michigan.
