What is Laptop ConneCT?
Laptop ConneCT is administered by CT DEEP and the Connecticut State Library. The program is funded by the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund. It is a $7 million initiative that loans laptops and related accessories to eligible Connecticut residents through public libraries. By combining device access with library-based support, the program aims to expand digital opportunity and connect more people to education, employment, and essential resources.
