July Newsletter
At the end of last month, the entire KINBER organization and board came together to work on our strategic plan and think boldly about what’s next. It was an energizing opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been, imagine where we’re going, and shape the future of KINBER together.
We’re excited about the ideas, opportunities, and momentum ahead, and even more excited to see what takes shape as we move forward. The future is full of possibility, and we’re ready to build it together.
Warm regards,
- Nathan Flood

A New Space to Learn & Connect
With KINBER's support, Redbank Valley Public Library is expanding opportunities for its community by opening a new Digital Learning Lab. The lab provides community members with access to technology, digital resources, and opportunities to build the skills they need to learn, work, connect, and participate in today’s digital world.
This new space is part of KINBER’s growing network of Digital Access & Support Hubs across Pennsylvania, made possible through partnerships that bring technology and learning opportunities closer to the communities that need them most.
