NOTE: For the Hands-on-EPC Portal sessions on Thursday, you'll need your library's E-Rate Productivity Center (EPC) credentials. If you aren't sure how to log into EPC for your library, contact EPC directly at https://www.usac.org/e-rate/contact-us/
If your library does not get E-Rate, you can take a break during these sessions or attend the sessions to learn more about E-Rate.
This workshop does count toward your Continuing Education (CE) requirement for the PLA Grant.
