Project background
The Aotearoa People's Network (APN) provides through public libraries free and facilitated access for New Zealanders to the internet, digital tools and services, and the ability to be able to reposit content into community and national digital archives.
Libraries and their staff will also benefit as they build their skills and knowledge of the online world, and share this knowledge with their customers.
More information about the project is available on the APN website.
