You're Invited: Digital Navigator Listening Sessions

Cook County Digital Equity Logo

You're invited to a new series of events called Libraries as Digital Navigators: Library Listening & Learning Circles!  

These collaborative and welcoming events are a key part of our Human-Centered Design process to ensure the Cook County Digital Navigator Network is built with libraries. They will directly inform how the Network and upcoming funding opportunities are designed and implemented.
