Important Dates

eRate deadlines are now longer. Since schools are closing because of the pandemic, USAC has pushed back the deadlines to post a 470 and do a 471.

470 DEADLINE

April 1, 2020 is the last day to file a 470. Please contact your consultant if you need help with your FCC Form 470. REMINDER: If you have voluntary extensions and want to continue that service, you DO NOT file an FCC Form 470.

471 DEADLINE

April 29, 2020 is that last day to file your FCC Form 471. Contact your consultant if you need help with this form.

Topics

Trends, technology and other things going on in the library world.

Get Inspired by Design

It’s fun to see what’s happening in library design. American Libraries Magazine features library building, renovation and design projects each year. Take a look and get inspired.

Libraries and Social Work

It’s a new way to think about libraries connecting to people in the community. Libraries are hiring or embedding a social worker in the library. Listen to a story from NPR. Then find out more in the book.

New Books to Help You in the Library

Ready for new ideas or need a road map for how to run a library? Here are two new books that you’ll want on your list. Don’t buy your own copy. Try borrowing from ODL!
