New York City’s public libraries have launched a free digital literacy program designed to help bridge the technology gap in underserved communities. The initiative provides residents with workshops and training on essential skills, including coding, online safety, and effective digital communication. Library officials say the program aims to empower participants to confidently navigate the digital world, access online resources, and improve opportunities for education and employment.
The program will be available at multiple library branches across the city, with sessions tailored for all ages and skill levels. Participants can learn how to use computers, smartphones, and other digital tools, while gaining practical knowledge to stay safe and secure online. Officials emphasized that this initiative reflects the libraries’ ongoing commitment to providing equitable access to technology and education for all New Yorkers.
