Tech for checkout marketing toolkit

Use this toolkit to promote Library Digital Connectivity Grant-funded tech available for checkout from your library, such as hotspots, Launchpads, and laptops.

If you have questions or need more information about the grant program, visit the Library Digital Connectivity Grants website or email [email protected].

Should libraries include funder acknowledgements like with other grants (i.e. GEER)?

Yes, please use the GPLS logo and the following statement: “Partially funded by the Georgia Office of the Governor using American Rescue Plan Act funding.”

GPLS will be shipping postcards and flyers directly to your library headquarters in early November. We left space on the designs so you can add a sticker or label with your local library information. Materials will be sent to your library via courier. 

Publications are English on one side and Spanish on the other. There are also options here that you can download, customize, and print.
