CLC Webinar – Internal Network Infrastructure Funding for Libraries

Join California Library Connect to learn about funding opportunities that can help libraries upgrade and expand their internal network infrastructure, including wireless access points, switches, firewalls, cabling, and other critical networking components.

This webinar will feature E-Rate specialists who will provide an overview of E-Rate Category 2 funding, discuss eligible equipment and services, explain program requirements, and outline the steps libraries can take to successfully apply for funding. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of how these resources can support technology modernization efforts while reducing local costs.

The session will also include a discussion with library representatives who have successfully leveraged Category 2 funding. They will share their experiences, describe projects completed through the program, discuss the benefits their libraries have realized, and offer practical insights for libraries considering participation.

Whether your library is planning a network refresh, expanding wireless coverage, or exploring future technology investments, this webinar will provide valuable information to help you evaluate available funding opportunities.
