Digital Equity Program

Mission

The New Mexico State Library envisions a future where every resident, regardless of background or location, has equitable and inclusive access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, governmental services, and essential information for personal development and well-being.

Digital Equity

Digital equity is a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy, and economy.
