This comprehensive SCKLS region broadband study consists of data collected in December 2023, with data collection concluding on December 22, 2023. Data is current as of that date, with plans to gather yearly information at the end of each year to provide an annual update in January. While this first study is aimed at public libraries in our region, we are considering adding academic, school and special libraries to next year's study.
