Technology packs were added to dozens of libraries across Onondaga County.

It's an investment that Onondaga County executive Ryan McMahon calls a no-brainer. Mcmahon says these wireless hotspots will help rural and poverty-stricken communities that may not have internet access.

In turn, there's hope it leads to educational success. Anyone can sign the packs out and use them for three weeks at home.

The goal is to fight back against poverty and inequality with the help of technology.

"It’s a top priority for libraries to have digital inclusion, digital equity, this is a step towards it,” said Onondaga Public Library System Executive Director Janet Park. “So these wireless hotspots will allow not only the student to access things, but the parent."

So far there are 32 tech packs in suburban libraries, and nine in the city of Syracuse. The county will spend $100,000 to add at least 175 more packs to other libraries in need.
