Equidad Digital

"El acceso a internet ya no es opcional: es esencial y nadie debería quedarse sin acceso a internet por sus ingresos o por el lugar donde vive" -Gobernador de Maryland, Wes Moore

La Biblioteca del Condado de Anne Arundel proporciona acceso a muchos recursos y servicios que pueden ayudarle a estar, y permanecer, ¡conectado!

CERRANDO LA BRECHA DIGITAL CON EL ACP

La Biblioteca está trabajando para conectar a los residentes del condado que cumplan los requisitos con el Programa de Conectividad Asequible (ACP). El ACP es un programa de prestaciones de la FCC que ayuda a garantizar que los hogares puedan permitirse la banda ancha que necesitan para el trabajo, la escuela, la sanidad y mucho más.

La prestación ofrece un descuento de hasta $30 al mes en el servicio de Internet para los hogares que cumplan los requisitos. Los hogares que reúnan los requisitos también pueden recibir un descuento único de hasta $100 para adquirir un ordenador portátil, un ordenador de sobremesa o una tableta de los proveedores participantes si contribuyen con más de $10 y menos de $50 al precio de compra.

El ACP está limitado a un descuento mensual por servicio y a un descuento por dispositivo por hogar. Infórmese aquí sobre quién reúne los requisitos.

Póngase en contacto con su sucursal local para que le ayuden a inscribirse en el ACP.
