The Atlantic County community is invited to join us
for an exciting day of activities focusing on maker culture during
the 9th Annual NJ Makers Day, Saturday, March 25, 2023!

NJ Makers Day was designed to be a statewide event that celebrates, promotes and, in many cases, introduces maker culture to communities.  Maker spaces and projects reinforce those values associated with making, tinkering and STEM-based learning.

Activities for all ages are scheduled on March 25th at six Atlantic County Library System branches for those interested in learning, creating, building and designing.  Children, teens and families are encouraged to explore new tools, discover new ideas, and play within a hands-on environment.

"If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves."
-Thomas Edison

One of the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic was the importance of equitable broadband access to ensure our communities have access to high-speed internet for school, work, government services, medical visits and consultations, quality of life applications, and more. The state of New Jersey has set a goal of 100% broadband availability throughout the state. To help achieve this goal, the state has created the Broadband Assessment Project to identify areas that are lacking sufficient broadband access. These areas will then be eligible for broadband expansion with the use of federal and state grant programs.

Atlantic County residents and businesses are encouraged to provide firsthand information about the availability of broadband within their communities, its cost, reliability and competition, by participating in an online survey available at www.broadband-nj.com. The information obtained from the survey will reveal the current state of broadband and any gaps in our service provider infrastructure.
