Montana State Library Hot Spot Lending Program
The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly exacerbated the digital divide in Montana, which is why the State Library is investing in a hot spot lending program to help Montana libraries help their patrons in need. Every public and tribal college library in Montana is eligible to receive hot spots that they can use as they choose to help their communities.
