The pandemic increased the need for broadband service while reducing income for many. To help, the Emergency Broadband Benefit provides eligible households with a monthly broadband discount of up to $50 (up to $75 per household on qualifying Tribal lands) and a one-time discount of up to $100 toward the purchase of a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet.

The Fall 2021 Website Compass magazine is filled with online resources to help you learn new crafting skills, get project ideas, buy supplies, and more. Perhaps you can whip up a few things for holiday gifts?
