TOWNHALL MEETING TO DISCUSS BROADBAND INTERNET ACCESS

Communities thrive, grow, and attract and retain business when citizens’ access to the Internet is at broadband high speeds. Broadband Internet access increases the capacity of Kansas communities to build on their economic base and strengthen tax revenues, yet many citizens of our state are still under-served.

Libraries help overcome access gaps by providing computers and broadband connections to the public, but increasing demand, and changes in funding for library broadband requires a community response.

Please join your neighbors and fellow citizens for an evening of information and discussion on the future of broadband access in our community. On Thursday, February 23 we will be meeting at the Hillsboro City Building from 6 to 8:30 pm. A light supper will be served, followed by discussion beginning at 6:30.

This event is sponsored by the North Central Kansas Libraries System, a 12-county System of cooperating libraries, and the Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy, of Kansas State University.
