Las Vegas, Feb. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District and Cox Las Vegas have tapped the talents of Anu Sun & The Shed All-Stars to help broadcast their joint mission of bridging the “digital divide” in Southern Nevada. This party with a purpose on March 10 is designed to share information about low cost and free internet programs and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip hop. The Shed Open Jam will feature a concert headlined by Sun, a Grammy and Emmy Award-Winning artist and native Las Vegan, and The Shed All-Stars.
Admission to The Shed Open Jam on March 10 is FREE, and will take place at the West Las Vegas Library, located at 951 W. Lake Mead Blvd. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis and RSVPs are highly recommended. Visit The Shed Open Jam on the Library District website to RSVP.
“The numbers show that many in our community have not fully utilized the programs available to help with the cost of a digital connection and this event is designed to help inform and entertain,” said Cox Las Vegas Market Vice President Janet Uthman. “We hope that attendees will leave with knowledge about affordable internet programs to share with their friends, neighbors and communities and help us close the ‘digital divide’ – the gap between those who can and cannot afford a permanent internet connection.”
Like Cox, the Library District is committed to creating access points to technology for all members of the community.
“Access to technology is a basic human right and is critical to communications and job training,” said Library District Executive Director Kelvin Watson. “Public libraries play an essential role in offering free access to computers, 3D printers, WiFi hotspots, tablets, Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and so much more. The goal of this fun community event is to spread the word about affordable internet and free access to learning resources.”
This event is part of the six-month celebration “Collections of Culture: 50 Years of Hip Hop Inside Libraries, Museums and Archives” and funded through a $267,760 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The Library District and more than 30 organizations around the country — including libraries, museums, colleges, universities, and archives — are participating in the celebration to commemorate the 50th anniversary of hip hop and to recognize its global artistic and cultural impact.
The Federal Government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has already provided nearly 180,000 Nevada families with broadband internet connectivity in their homes. Through the Affordable Connectivity Program, households that receive federal housing assistance are eligible to receive the ACP discount of up to $30 per month for internet service.
Cox’s long-standing commitment to narrowing the digital divide began more than two decades ago with its Connect2Compete program for families with children in k-12 grade. Today, Cox is a partner in administering the government’s ACP program to deliver financial relief to customers and recently launched a new low-cost solution ideal for veterans, senior citizens, and Americans with disabilities, called ConnectAssist. C2C and ConnectAssist customers can receive free internet when the ACP benefit is applied.
