Comcast joined Aurora Public Library District officials and community leaders to announce a $15,000 donation to the Aurora Public Library Foundation, which will expand digital skills training at Santori Library in Aurora.
Comcast’s latest support of digital skills training in Aurora follows the company’s announcement in 2023 to establish a digital navigator program at Santori Library, where community members are able to connect with trained professionals to help build the digital skills needed to stay connected and thrive.
The company also contributed 50 laptops to participants of the library’s digital education programming, in partnership with Family Focus Aurora.
“Thank you to Comcast for their investment in the Aurora Public Library District and Aurora Family Focus,” said Aurora chief information officer Ram Tyagi. “Both organizations work tirelessly to connect Aurora residents to critical resources.”
“Our libraries serve as vital hubs for lifelong learning and community connection,” said Michaela Haberkern, executive director of the Aurora Public Library District. “Thanks to Comcast’s continued support, we’re able to expand access to essential digital skills training and empower more community members with the tools they need to thrive in today’s technology-driven world.”
“We deeply appreciate Comcast’s continued partnership in helping us fulfill our mission to support families in Aurora,” said Christina Campos, assistant center director at Family Focus Aurora. “Access to laptops and digital training opens doors for our community members to secure new opportunities.”
