      - Digital Equity Means More than Just Access to the Internet
        
        " I think it’s true that people tend to think of library resources as purely for essential or educational tasks, but access to digital entertainment is a part of digital equity too. " -Cathrine Melillo
      - What if Digital Equity was a reality? Explore It with Byte Back
        
        To bring it all together, digital tools are like language. Language is something we're surrounded by and is naturally picked up. When someone grows up around technology and is allowed to explore it, they're able to pick it up quicker.
        
        But just because someone can speak a language doesn't mean they know how to use it. Some people forget grammar points, some people struggle to spell, some people find it hard to put words to their thoughts. Growing up with a tablet doesn't mean they'll know how to use a computer. Having a smartphone doesn't mean they have internet.
        
        It's not the individual's fault. Be it language or technology, this gap exists from neglect. Neglect from those in power. Our goal as librarians is to start pulling bricks out of this wall. Some of us can just start the work, others might need support before they can, but we can provide ramps, stools, ladders, whatever is needed to achieve equity until liberation.
