Barriers

Public libraries have many reasons for not participating in e-rate.  We've tried to provide answers to the most common explanations.

  • I don't believe in filtering
  • Filtering is too much work
  • Our internet is already free
  • Our internet is good enough
  • The city pays for our internet
  • Our internet bill is combined with the city's
  • Filing takes too long
  • Filing isn't worth my time
  • I don't know my numbers
  • We don't have a choice of providers
