Public Libraries Gain Internet Speed

Your local library is home to more than just books. It is also a hot spot of creativity, technology, and opportunity. Historically, library Internet bandwidth has been low, sometimes as small as 20 to 40 Mbps.
The South Carolina E-Rate Consortium, a program managed by the South Carolina Department of Administration, is increasing the minimum library branch bandwidth circuit speed to 100Mbps effective July 1, 2019.
