The Alachua County Broadband Initiative is hosting three free Fiber Education and Digital Literacy events on Thursday, June 11, 2026, in partnership with Kinetic. The events will focus on fiber broadband education, cybersecurity and digital literacy.
They will be held at three locations:
- Hawthorne Library (6640 SE 221st St., Hawthorne) from noon to 1:30 p.m.
- Alachua Library (14913 NW 140th St., Alachua) from 2:30 to 4 p.m.

The program will introduce residents to fiber internet technology, essential technology skills and web-based tools that support everyday life at home, work, and school. Participants will learn how to protect personal information online, recognize cyber scams, understand the benefits of fiber internet, and use digital tools more effectively.
These events are part of the Kinetic Digital Literacy Program, which is supported through the Alachua County Broadband Deployment Assistance Grant.
