FCC National Library Week Celebration

In celebration of National Library Week, the FCC announced its Annual Open House will take place on April 19, 2017.  In partnership with the FCC Technology Experience Center, the FCC Library will showcase how local, state, federal, and academic libraries use electronic or digital content to provide 24/7 cyberspace access for a wide array of personal use devices.  (The FCC Technology Experience Center, located within the FCC Library, is a communications technology repository where FCC staff and visitors have hands-on opportunities to preview communications content and devices.)  Manufacturers and vendors are invited to participate in this event. Of particular interest are: Smart phones; e-Book readers; Tablets; Technology kiosks;  and Library-specific application solutions.
